Rescue me from those who practice injustice, And save me from men of bloodshed.
¶If only You would put the wicked to death, God; Leave me, you men of bloodshed.
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, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.
Who will stand up for me against evildoers? Who will take his stand for me against those who do injustice?
