2. Deliver me from those who do iniquity And save me from men of bloodshed.
3. For behold, they have set an ambush for my life; Fierce men launch an attack against me, Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord,
4. For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me. Arouse Yourself to help me, and see!
5. You, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. Selah.
6. They return at evening, they howl like a dog, And go around the city.
7. Behold, they belch forth with their mouth; Swords are in their lips, For, they say, "Who hears?"
8. But You, O Lord, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
9. Because of his strength I will watch for You, For God is my stronghold.
