You rescued me from enemies, who were hateful and too powerful for me.
Help! They are chasing me, and they are too strong.
Every bone in my body will shout: “No one is like the Lord!” You protect the helpless from those in power; you save the poor and needy from those who hurt them.
God is my hateful enemy, glaring at me and attacking with his sharp teeth.
Many deadly and powerful enemies hate me,
With the Lord on my side, I will defeat my hateful enemies.
Look at all my enemies! See how much they hate me.
Please have mercy, Lord! My enemies mistreat me. Keep me from the gates that lead to death,
You rescued me from enemies who were hateful and too powerful for me.
David sang a song to the Lord after the Lord had rescued him from his enemies, especially Saul. These are the words to David's song:
But the people of his country hated him, and they sent messengers to the foreign country to say, “We don't want this man to be our king.”
I am surrounded by trouble, but you protect me against my angry enemies. With your own powerful arm you keep me safe.
Reach down from heaven and set me free. Save me from the mighty flood
