He sits in the lurking places of the villages; He kills the innocent in the secret places; His eyes surreptitiously watch for the unfortunate.

He does not lend his money at interest, Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. One who does these things will never be shaken.

Also keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be innocent, And I will be blameless of great wrongdoing.

To shoot from concealment at the innocent; Suddenly they shoot at him, and do not fear.

They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.

And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was defiled with the blood.
