Psalms 58:3-11

³Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloody men.

⁴For, behold, they have hunted after my soul; Violent men have set upon me: Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord.

⁵Without iniquity I ran and directed my course aright: Awake to help me, and behold.

⁶And thou, Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, Draw nigh to visit all the heathen; Pity not any that work iniquity. Pause.

⁷They shall return at evening, and hunger like a dog, and go round about the city.

⁸Behold, they shall utter a voice with their mouth, And a sword is in their lips; for who, say they, has heard?

⁹But thou, Lord, wilt laugh them to scorn; Thou wilt utterly set at nought all the heathen.

¹⁰I will keep my strength, looking to thee; For thou, O God, art my helper.

¹¹As for my God, his mercy shall go before me: My God will show me vengeance on mine enemies.
