For behold, they (A)have [a]set an ambush for my [b]life;
[c]Fierce men [d](B)launch an attack against me,
(C)Not for my transgression nor for my sin, O Lord,
[e](D)For no guilt of mine, they run and set themselves against me.
(E)Arouse Yourself to [f]help me, and see!
You, (F)O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Awake to [g](G)punish all the nations;
(H)Do not be gracious to any who are treacherous in iniquity. [h]Selah.
