2. Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from the bloodthirsty men.
3. For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul; the mighty gather themselves together against me: not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O Lord.
4. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake thou to help me, and behold.
5. Even thou, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, arise to visit all the heathen: 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.

9. O my strength, I will wait upon thee: for God is my high tower.
10. The God of my mercy shall prevent me: God shall let me see my desire upon mine enemies.
