Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. Of David, for the memorial offering.

¹Be pleased, O God, to deliver me.
    O Lord, make haste to help me!
²Let those be put to shame and confusion
    who seek my life.
Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
    who desire to hurt me.
³Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!”
    turn back because of their shame.
