He deliveredme from my strongenemy,And from those who hatedme, for they were toomightyfor me.
And Davidspokethe wordsof thissongto the LORDin the daythat the LORDdeliveredhim from the handof allhis enemiesand from the handof Saul.
"He deliveredme from my strongenemy,From those who hatedme, for they were toostrongfor me.
"His angerhas tornme and huntedme down,He has gnashedat me with His teeth;My adversaryglaresat me.
The LORDis for me among those who helpme; Therefore I will look[with satisfaction] on those who hateme.
ThoughI walkin the midstof trouble,You will reviveme; You will stretchforthYour handagainstthe wrathof my enemies,And Your righthandwill saveme.
"Giveheedto my cry,For I am broughtverylow;Deliverme from my persecutors,For they are toostrongfor me.
StretchforthYour handfrom on high;Rescueme and deliverme out of greatwaters,Out of the handof aliens
Lookupon my enemies,for they are many,And they hateme with violenthatred.
Allmy boneswill say,"LORD,whois likeYou, Who deliversthe afflictedfrom him whois toostrongfor him, And the afflictedand the needyfrom him who robshim?"
But my enemiesare vigorous[and] strong,And manyare those who hateme wrongfully.
Be graciousto me, O LORD;Seemy afflictionfrom those who hateme, You who liftme up from the gatesof death,
"But his citizenshatedhim and senta delegationafterhim, saying,'We do not wantthis manto reignoverus.'
