Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

For he that maketh inquisition for blood remembereth them; He forgetteth not the cry of the poor.

Their sorrows shall be multiplied that give gifts for another god : Their drink-offerings of blood will I not offer, Nor take their names upon my lips.

Gather not my soul with sinners, Nor my life with men of blood;

Because they regard not the works of Jehovah, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.

What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: Oh deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

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

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.

Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities.

Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: Build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

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

That thou mayest crush them , dipping thy foot in blood, That the tongue of thy dogs may have its portion from thine enemies.

For God will save Zion, and build the cities of Judah; And they shall abide there, and have it in possession.

He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; And precious will their blood be in his sight:

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.

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

And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.

Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever; Thy faithfulness wilt thou establish in the very heavens.

Thy seed will I establish for ever, And build up thy throne to all generations. Selah

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

For Jehovah hath built up Zion; He hath appeared in his glory.

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

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

Plead thou my cause, and redeem me: Quicken me according to thy word.

Except Jehovah build the house, They labor in vain that build it: Except Jehovah keep the city, The watchman waketh but in vain.

Jehovah doth build up Jerusalem; He gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
