If only You would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloody men!
Do not take my soul away with sinners, nor my life with people of bloodshed—
When evildoers approached me to devour my flesh —my adversaries and my foes— they stumbled and fell.
Cast your burden on Adonai, and He will sustain you. He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Adonai my God, in You I have taken refuge. Save me from each of my persecutors, and deliver me.
Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against evildoers?
