Look, powerful men are waiting for me.
    Lord, they are waiting to kill me,
    even though I did not sin or commit a crime.
I have done nothing wrong, but they are rushing to attack me.
    Come and see for yourself!
You are the Lord God All-Powerful, the God of Israel!
    Get up and punish them.
    Don’t show any mercy to those traitors. Selah
