For insolent men have risen against me, ruthless men seek my life; they do not set God before them. Selah
I keep the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
May he send you help from the sanctuary, and give you support from Zion!
Yea, dogs are round about me; a company of evildoers encircle me; they have pierced my hands and feet—
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Let them be put to shame and confusion altogether who seek to snatch away my life; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!
Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from deceitful and unjust men deliver me!
Have those who work evil no understanding, who eat up my people as they eat bread, and do not call upon God?
I have become a stranger to my brethren, an alien to my mother's sons.
O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seek my life, and they do not set thee before them.
And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.
