For the Chief Musician.
To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.”
A poem by David, when Saul sent, and they watched the house to kill him.
Deliver me from my enemies, my God.
Set me on high from those who rise up against me.
Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.
Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.
The mighty gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, LORD.
I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Rise up, behold, and help me!
