For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah.
I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion;
For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
The transgression of the wicked said within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called on God.
I am become a stranger to my brothers, and an alien to my mother's children.
O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
And these things will they do to you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
