Prayer for Protection from the Wicked.
For the music director; for flute accompaniment. A Psalm of David.
Listen to my words, Lord, Consider my sighing.
-
Listen to the sound of my cry for help, my King and my God, For to You I pray.

The boastful will not stand before Your eyes; You hate all who do injustice.
-
You destroy those who speak lies; The Lord loathes the person of bloodshed and deceit.
-
Lord, lead me in Your righteousness because of my enemies; Make Your way straight before me.
-
Make them pay, God; Have them fall by their own schemes! Scatter them in the multitude of their wrongdoings, For they are rebellious against You.
-
But rejoice, all who take refuge in You, Sing for joy forever! And may You shelter them, That those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
-
For You bless the righteous person, Lord, You surround him with favor as with a shield.

Prayer for Mercy in Time of Trouble.
For the music director; with stringed instruments, upon an eight-string lyre. A Psalm of David.
Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, Nor discipline me in Your wrath.
-
And my soul is greatly horrified; But You, Lord—how long?
-
Return, Lord, rescue my soul; Save me because of Your mercy.
-
For there is no mention of You in death; In Sheol, who will praise You?
-
I am weary with my sighing; Every night I make my bed swim, I flood my couch with my tears.
-
Leave me, all you who practice injustice, For the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
-
All my enemies will be put to shame and greatly horrified; They shall turn back, they will suddenly be put to shame.

The Lord Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.
O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,
-
Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.
-
Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah
-
Arise, Lord, in Your anger; Raise Yourself against the rage of my enemies, And stir Yourself for me; You have ordered judgment.
-
My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.
-
God is a righteous judge, And a God who shows indignation every day.
-
If one does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and taken aim.
-
He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.
