² Rescue me from these criminals;
    save me from these murderers.

¹⁹ O God, if only you would destroy the wicked!
    Get out of my life, you murderers!

⁹ Don’t let me suffer the fate of sinners.
    Don’t condemn me along with murderers.

²³ But you, O God, will send the wicked
    down to the pit of destruction.
Murderers and liars will die young,
    but I am trusting you to save me.

² When evil people come to devour me,
    when my enemies and foes attack me,
    they will stumble and fall.
