Set me up high
Deliver me from my enemies, my God. Set me up high away from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from the evildoers, and save me from bloodthirsty men. Because look — they're waiting for my soul. Strong men gather against me — not for any rebellion of mine or sin of mine, Lord. They run and get ready when I've done nothing wrong. Wake up and come and meet me, and have a look. You, Lord God Almighty, God of Israel — wake up and deal with all the nations. Don't be gracious to any wicked traitor. Selah. They return in the evening, howl like a dog and go around the city. They pour out words with their mouths; swords are on their lips, and they say, ‘Who hears us?’ But you, Lord, will laugh at them. You'll make a joke of all the nations. Because of his strength I'll wait for you, because God is my stronghold. The God of my mercy will go before me; God will let me see my desire upon my enemies. Don't kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by your power and bring them down, Lord, our shield. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, and for the cursing and lying they speak. Consume them in fury. Consume them until they are gone. And let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. Selah. And they come back in the evening. They howl like a dog and go round the city. They wander about looking for food, and they growl if they don't get their fill. But I'll sing of your power; yes, I'll sing aloud of your mercy in the morning, because you have been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. My strength, I'll sing to you. Because God is my stronghold, the God of my mercy.
Get me out from my enemies, my God. Set me up high away from the ones who get up against me. Get me out from the workers of wrong, and save me from men of blood. Because look — they're waiting for my soul. Strong men gather against me — not for any rebellion of mine or sin of mine, Lord. They run and get ready when I've done nothing wrong. Wake up and come and meet me, and have a look. You, Lord God Almighty, God of Israel — wake up and deal with all the nations. Don't be gracious to any wicked traitor. They come back in the evening. They howl like a dog and go round the town. Look — they pour it out with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, because who's listening? But you, Lord, will laugh at them. You'll make a joke of all the nations. Because of his strength I'll wait for you, because God is my high place. The God of my faithful love will go in front of me. God will let me look at the ones watching me. Don't kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by your power and bring them down, Master, our shield. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their own pride — for the cursing and lying they tell. Finish them in fury. Finish them so they're gone. And let them know that God rules in Jacob to the ends of the earth. And they come back in the evening. They howl like a dog and go round the town. They wander about looking for food, and they growl if they don't get their fill. But I'll sing about your strength. Yes, I'll sing out loud about your faithful love in the morning. Because you've been my high place and my shelter in the day of my trouble. My strength, I'll sing to you. Because God is my high place, the God of my faithful love.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold. Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah. They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. Behold, they belch out with their mouth: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, doth hear? But thou, O LORD, shalt laugh at them; thou shalt have all the heathen in derision. Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence. The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies. Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by thy power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield. For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak. Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. And at evening let them return; and let them make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city. Let them wander up and down for meat, and grudge if they be not satisfied. But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
