Psalm 56:5-7
Contemporary English Version

5 Enemies spend the whole day
    finding fault with me;
all they think about
    is how to do me harm.
6 They attack from ambush,
watching my every step
    and hoping to kill me.
7 They won't get away[a]
    with these crimes, God,
because when you get angry,
    you destroy people.
