2 Deliver me from the workers of iniquity.Save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3 For, behold, they lie in wait for my soul.The mighty gather themselves together against me,not for my disobedience, nor for my sin, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.Rise up, behold, and help me!
5 You, Lord God of Hosts, the God of Israel,rouse yourself to punish the nations.Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah.
6 They return at evening, howling like dogs,and prowl around the city.
7 Behold, they spew with their mouth.Swords are in their lips,“For”, they say, “who hears us?”
8 But you, Lord, laugh at them.You scoff at all the nations.
