1. Save me from mine enemies, O Elohai; protect me from them that rise up against me.
2. Deliver me from the po'alei aven (workers of iniquity), and save me from anshei damim (bloody men).
3. For, hinei, they lie in wait for my nefesh; the fierce stir up strife against me; not for my peysha, nor for my chattat, Hashem.
