Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,\par\tab And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God:\par\tab Depart from me therefore, ye bloodthirsty men.
Gather not my soul with sinners,\par\tab Nor my life with men of blood;
But thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction:\par\tab Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days;\par\tab But I will trust in thee.\par
When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh,\par\tab {\i Even} mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Lest they tear my soul like a lion,\par\tab Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?\par\tab Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
