You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

When He avenges blood, He remembers them; He does not forget the cry of the humble.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, Nor take up their names on my lips.

Do not gather my soul with sinners, Nor my life with bloodthirsty men,

“What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, Or drink the blood of goats?

Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, The God of my salvation, And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness.

But You, O God, shall bring them down to the pit of destruction; Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; But I will trust in You.

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

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, And save me from bloodthirsty men.

That your foot may crush them in blood, And the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from your enemies.”

He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; And precious shall be their blood in His sight.

Turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, that they could not drink.

Their blood they have shed like water all around Jerusalem, And there was no one to bury them.

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

They gather together against the life of the righteous, And condemn innocent blood.

He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.

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

Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men.
