1Deliver me from my enemies, my God; set me on high above those who rise up against me.
2Deliver me from evildoers, and save me from men of bloodshed.
3For look, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men gather against me, for no transgression or sin of mine, O Yahweh.
4They run and take their positions, though I have done no wrong; awake to meet me and see.
5But you, O Yahweh God of hosts, God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations; show no favor to any treacherous evildoers. Selah
