Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;
aSave me from all those who persecute me;
And deliver me, 
2 aLest they tear me like a lion,
bRending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 
3 O Lord my God, aif I have done this:
If there is biniquity in my hands, 
4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or ahave plundered my enemy without cause, 
5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,
And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
aLift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
bRise up1 for me to the judgment You have commanded!

Psalms 7:1

O Lord my God - Yehovah Elohai , words expressive of the strongest confidence the soul can have in the Supreme Being. Thou self-existent, incomprehensible, almighty, and eternal Being, who neither needest nor hatest any thing that thou hast made; thou art my God: God in covenant with thy creature man; and my God and portion particularly. Therefore, in thee do I put thy trust - I repose all my confidence in thee, and expect all my good from thee.

Save me - Shield me from my persecutors; abate their pride, assuage their malice, and confound their devices!

Deliver me - From the counsels which they have devised, and from the snares and gins they have laid in my path.
