His mischief, turneth back, on his own head, - and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.

Yahweh, putteth, the righteous, to the test, - But the lawless one and the lover of violence, his soul doth hate.

Because of violence done to the poor, because of the crying of the needy, Now, will I arise! O may Yahweh say, - I will place him in safety - let him puff at him!

From the face of lawless ones who have treated me with violence, the foes of my soul, who come round against me:

Who hath delivered me from my foes, - Yea, from mine assailants, hast thou set me on high, From the man of violence, hast thou rescued me.

Behold my foes, for they abound, - and, with the hatred of violence, do they hate me.

Do not give me up unto the desire of mine adversaries, for there have risen up against me witnesses that are false, and he that fanneth up violence.

There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:

For, aliens, have risen up against me, And, men of violence, have sought my life, They have not set God before them. Selah.

Confuse, O My Lord, divide their speech, For I have seen violence and contention in the city;

Aye! ye all do work, perversity, - Throughout the land, your hands, weigh out, violence!

From extortion, and, violence, he Redeemeth their life, And precious is their flood in his sight.

Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:

Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, - who have devised, to thrust at my steps:

As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, - As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
