Deliver me from workers of iniquity And save me from men of bloodshed.
¶Oh that You would slay the wicked, O God! O men of bloodshed, depart from me.
Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,
When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies, they stumbled and fell.
But You, O God, will bring them down to the pit of corruption; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Who will arise for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against workers of iniquity?
