Those [who] hurry [after] another [god] increase their sorrows. I will not pour out their drink offerings of blood, nor take up their names on my lips.

Let those who seek my life be shamed and humiliated. Let those who plot calamity against me be repulsed and ashamed.

Those who seek my life lay snares as well, and those intent on my harm speak threats. They also plot deceit all day.

Judge me, O God, and plead my case against an unfaithful nation. From a man of deceit and wickedness rescue me,

Do I eat [the] flesh of bulls or drink [the] blood of goats?

Be gracious to me, O God, according to your loyal love. According to your abundant mercies, blot out my transgressions.

Hide your face from my sins, and all my iniquities blot out.

Do good in your favor toward Zion. Build the walls of Jerusalem.

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

And you, Yahweh, God [of] hosts, [are] the God of Israel. Rouse yourself to punish all the nations. Do not be gracious to any [who] treacherously plot evil. Selah

Why should the nations say, "Where [is] their God?" Let it be known among the nations before our eyes, [by] the avenging of the blood of your servants that was poured out.

For I say, "Forever [your] loyal love is built up. [The] heavens you have established [with] your faithfulness in them."

'I will establish your descendants forever, and I will build up your throne {from generation to generation}.'" Selah

They band together against [the] life of [the] righteous, and declare [the] blameless guilty of blood.

Jerusalem that is built as a city that is joined together,

His breath departs; he returns to his plot; on that day his plans perish.
