Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloodthirsty men.
Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, O bloodthirsty men!
Do not gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with murderers,
When the wicked came against me to devour my flesh — my enemies and my foes— they stumbled and fell.
But You, O God, will cast the wicked down to the pit of destruction; bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
