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,

But you, God, bring them down to the Pit of corruption; bloodthirsty and deceitful people will not live out half their days. But I put my full confidence in you. To the Director: A special Davidic psalm to the tune of "A Silent Dove Far Away," when the Philistines seized him in Gath.

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

Wilt thou not slay the wicked, O God, that the bloodthirsty might depart from me?

The bloodthirsty hate the perfect, but the upright care for his soul.

"Thou son of man, wilt thou not reprove this bloodthirsty city? Show them their abominations,

Wherefore, thus sayeth the LORD God: O woe be unto that bloodthirsty city, for whom I will prepare a heap of wood.

The multitude of the priests is like a heap of thieves, murderers and bloodthirsty: for they have wrought abomination.

Woe to that bloodthirsty city, which is all full of lies and robbery, and will not leave off from ravishing.
