1 Save me, O God, from my enemies;
2Save me from those who do wrong,
3For see! They lay ambush for me,
4they run and make ready. Awake!
5You, O LORD of hosts,
6At evening they come,
7Look at their venomous mouths,
8But you, LORD, laugh at them,
9My strength, I will sing to you,
10My God with his love will meet me,
11Slay them not, lest my people forget,
12In their sinful speech snare them, O LORD;
13In your wrath make a clean end of them,
14At evening they come,
15They roam about for a feast,
16But I will sing of your might;
17My strength, I will sing praise to you,
