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.
4. They run and prepare themselves without my avon (wrong, fault); awake to help me, and see.
5. Thou therefore, Hashem Elohim Tzva'os, Elohei Yisroel, rouse Thyself to visit [in punishment] kol HaGoyim; be not merciful to any bogedei aven (wicked boged [traitor]). Selah.
6. They return at erev; they growl like a kelev (dog), and prowl around the Ir.
