3. Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.
4. For behold they have caught my soul: the mighty have rushed in upon me:
5. Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
6. Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel. Attend to visit all the nations: have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
7. They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: and shall go round about the city.
8. Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
9. But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
10. I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector:
11. my God, his mercy shall prevent me.
