For foreigners attack me; ruthless men, who do not respect God, seek my life. (Selah)
I constantly trust in the Lord; because he is at my right hand, I will not be upended.
May he send you help from his temple; from Zion may he give you support!
Yes, wild dogs surround me – a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet.
An evil man is rebellious to the core. He does not fear God,
May those who are trying to snatch away my life be totally embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!
Vindicate me, O God! Fight for me against an ungodly nation! Deliver me from deceitful and evil men!
All those who behave wickedly do not understand – those who devour my people as if they were eating bread, and do not call out to God.
My own brothers treat me like a stranger; they act as if I were a foreigner.
O God, arrogant men attack me; a gang of ruthless men, who do not respect you, seek my life.
They will do these things because they have not known the Father or me.
