Save Me, O My God
A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
O Lord, how many are my foes! Many are rising against me;
-
Arise, O Lord! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.
-
O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer, and by night, but I find no rest.
-
O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.
-
Do not forsake me, O Lord! O my God, be not far from me!
-
I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.”
-
As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God!

Deliver Me from My Enemies
To the choirmaster: according to Do Not Destroy. A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch his house in order to kill him.
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise up against me;
-
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
-
O God, be not far from me; O my God, make haste to help me!
-
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
-
O my God, make them like whirling dust, like chaff before the wind.
-
“O my God,” I say, “take me not away in the midst of my days— you whose years endure throughout all generations!”
