Save me from those who do evil. Save me from people who want to kill me.
God, I wish you would kill the people who are evil! I wish those murderers would get away from me!
Don’t destroy me together with sinners. Don’t take away my life along with murderers.
My enemies are evil. They will trip and fall when they attack me and try to swallow me up.
God, you will bring sinners down to the grave. Murderers and liars won’t live out even half of their lives. But I trust in you.
If you don’t, they will tear me apart as if they were lions. They will rip me to pieces so that no one can save me.
Who will rise up for me against sinful people? Who will stand up for me against those who do evil?
