You destroy those who tell lies;
The Lord detests and rejects the bloodthirsty and deceitful man.

Do not sweep my soul away with sinners,
Nor [sweep away] my life with men of bloodshed,

Deliver me from those who practice wrongdoing,
And save me from bloodthirsty men.

The bloodthirsty hate the blameless [because of his integrity],
But the upright are concerned for his life.
