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.
5. You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to punish all the nations: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.
6. They return at evening: they make a noise like a dog, and go round about the city.
7. Behold, they bellow out with their mouths: swords are in their lips: for who, say they, does hear?
8. But you, O LORD, shall laugh at them; you shall have all the nations in derision.
9. Because of your strength will I wait upon you: for God is my defense.
10. The God of my mercy shall meet me: God shall let me see my desire upon my enemies.
