Psalm 56:5-7
Modern English Version

5 Every day they twist my words;
    all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 They stir up strife, they lurk,
    they watch my steps,
    when they wait for my life.
7 Should there be deliverance for them on account of wickedness?
    In Your anger cast down the peoples, O God.
