for in their anger they killed men,
    and at their whim they hamstrung oxen.^(A)

⁹ Do not sweep me away with sinners
    nor my life with the bloodthirsty,^(A)

    nor did I rejoice;
under the weight of your hand I sat alone,
    for you had filled me with indignation.^(A)

¹⁹ My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain!
    Oh, the walls of my heart!
My heart is beating wildly;
    I cannot keep silent,
for I^[a] hear the sound of the trumpet,
    the alarm of war.^(A)

² Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
    from the scheming of evildoers,^(A)

⁸     Awake, my soul!
Awake, O harp and lyre!
    I will awake the dawn.^(A)
