2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,And save me from bloodthirsty men.
3. For look, they lie in wait for my life;The mighty gather against me,Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord.
4. They run and prepare themselves through no fault of mine.Awake to help me, and behold!
5. You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,Awake to punish all the nations;Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors.Selah
6. At evening they return,They growl like a dog,And go all around the city.
7. Indeed, they belch with their mouth;Swords are in their lips;For they say, “Who hears?”
8. But You, O Lord, shall laugh at them;You shall have all the nations in derision.
9. I will wait for You, O You his Strength;For God is my defense.
