2
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, And from men of blood save me.
3
For, lo, they laid wait for my soul, Assembled against me are strong ones, Not my transgression nor my sin, O Jehovah.
4
Without punishment they run and prepare themselves, Stir up to meet me, and see.
5
And Thou, Jehovah, God of Hosts, God of Israel, Awake to inspect all the nations. Favour not any treacherous dealers of iniquity. Selah.
6
They turn back at evening, They make a noise like a dog, And go round about the city.
7
Lo, they belch out with their mouths, Swords [are] in their lips, for `Who heareth?'
8
And Thou, O Jehovah dost laugh at them, Thou dost mock at all the nations.
9
O my Strength, unto Thee I take heed, For God [is] my tower -- the God of my kindness.
10
God doth go before me, He causeth me to look on mine enemies.
11
Slay them not, lest my people forget, Shake them by Thy strength, And bring them down, O Lord our shield.
12
The sin of their mouth [is] a word of their lips, And they are captured in their pride, And from the curse and lying they recount.
