You destroy those who speak lies; The Lord loathes the person of bloodshed and deceit.

For He who requires blood remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the needy.

The pains of those who have acquired another god will be multiplied; I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, Nor will I take their names upon my lips.

Do not take my soul away along with sinners, Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

“What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?

Save me from the guilt of bloodshed, God, the God of my salvation; Then my tongue will joyfully sing of Your righteousness.

But You, God, will bring them down to the pit of destruction; Men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.

The righteous will rejoice when he sees vengeance; He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.

Rescue me from those who practice injustice, And save me from men of bloodshed.

So that your foot may shatter them in blood, And the tongue of your dogs may have its portion from your enemies.”

He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;

And turned their rivers to blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem; And there was no one to bury them.

Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” Let vengeance for the blood of Your servants which has been shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

He turned their waters into blood, And caused their fish to die.

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.

If only You would put the wicked to death, God; Leave me, you men of bloodshed.
