1. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God: defend me from them that rise up against me.
2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloodthirsty men.
3. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
4. They run and prepare themselves apart from my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
