- 0:13Speaker 1: me from my enemies, my God, set me on high
- 0:16Speaker 1: from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from
- 0:19Speaker 1: the workers of iniquity. Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
- 0:23Speaker 1: For behold, they lie in wait for my soul, the mighty.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Gather themselves together against me, not for my disobedience, nor
- 0:31Speaker 1: for my sin. Yahweh, I have done no wrong, yet
- 0:34Speaker 1: they are ready to attack me. Rise up. Behold and
- 0:37Speaker 1: help me. You, Yahweh, God of Host and God of Israel,
- 0:42Speaker 1: rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to
- 0:45Speaker 1: the wicked traders. They return at evening, howling like dogs
- 0:50Speaker 1: and prowler around the city. Behold they spew with their mouth.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Swords are in their lips, for they say, who hears us?
- 0:57Speaker 1: But you, Yahweh, laugh at them, You scoff at all
- 1:00Speaker 1: the nations. O my strength, I watch for you, For

- 1:10Speaker 1: at my enemies in triumph. Don't kill them or my

- 1:17Speaker 1: them down, Lord our shield, for the sin of their
- 1:21Speaker 1: mouth and the word of their lips. Let them be
- 1:23Speaker 1: caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which
- 1:27Speaker 1: they utter. Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they
- 1:30Speaker 1: will be no more. Let them know that God rules
- 1:34Speaker 1: in Jacob to the ends of the earth. At evening
- 1:37Speaker 1: let them return. Let them howl like a dog and
- 1:40Speaker 1: go around the city. They shall wander up and down
- 1:43Speaker 1: for food, and wait all night if they aren't satisfied.
- 1:47Speaker 1: But I will sing of your strength. Yes, I will
- 1:49Speaker 1: sing aloud of your loving kindness in the morning, for
- 1:52Speaker 1: you have been my high tower, a refuge in the
- 1:55Speaker 1: day of my distress. To you my strength, I will
- 1:59Speaker 1: sing praises. For God is my high tower, the God
- 2:02Speaker 1: of my mercy.
