Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God! O men of blood, depart from me!
Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men,
When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall.
But you, O God, will cast them down into the pit of destruction; men of blood and treachery shall not live out half their days. But I will trust in you.
lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?
