For the choir director; set to ^[a]Al-tashheth. A ^[b]Mikhtam of David, ^[c]when Saul sent men and they watched the house in order to kill him.

^(a)Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; ^[d](b)Set me securely on high away from those who rise up against me.

Deliver me from ^(c)those who do iniquity And save me from ^(d)men of bloodshed.

For behold, they ^(e)have ^[e]set an ambush for my ^[f]life; ^[g]Fierce men ^[h](f)launch an attack against me, ^(g)Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord ,

^[i](h)For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me. ⁽ⁱ⁾Arouse Yourself to ^[j]help me, and see!

You, ^(j)O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to ^[k](k)punish all the nations; ^(l)Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. ^[l]Selah.
