2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; The mighty gather themselves together against me: Not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Jehovah.
4. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: Awake thou to help me, and behold.
5. Even thou, O Jehovah God of hosts, the God of Israel, Arise to visit all the nations: Be not merciful to any wicked transgressors.
6. They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go round about the city.
7. Behold, they belch out with their mouth; Swords are in their lips: For who, say they, doth hear?
8. But thou, O Jehovah, wilt laugh at them; Thou wilt have all the nations in derision.
