The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow
To cast down the afflicted and the needy,
To slay those who are upright in conduct.

They have now surrounded us in our steps;
They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.

Surely You set them in slippery places;
You cast them down to destruction.

Because of wickedness, cast them forth,
In anger put down the peoples, O God!

Therefore He swore to them
That He would cast them down in the wilderness,
