International Standard Version

5 All day long people[a] distort what I say;
    all their schemes against me are for evil purposes.
6 They gather together
    and hide in ambush.
They watch my every step
    as they lie in wait for my life.
7 Cast them away because of their wickedness.
    In wrath, God, cast down these[b] people!
