[3]For lo, they lye in wayte for my soule: men of power are gathered together against me who haue committed no wickednes nor fault O God [3]For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD.
[4]When no fault is done, they runne and set them selues in order: arise to meete me and beholde [4]They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.
[5]And thou O God Lorde of hoastes, Lorde of Israel: awake to visite all Heathen, and be not mercifull vnto all them that offend of malice. Selah [5]Thou therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, awake to visit all the heathen: be not merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah.

[12]The wordes of their lippes [be] the sinne of their mouth: O let them be taken in their pryde, for they speake nothing but curses and lies [12]For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.

[17]Unto thee O my strength will I sing psalmes: for thou O Lorde art my refuge, and my mercyfull Lorde [17]Unto thee, O my strength, will I sing: for God is my defence, and the God of my mercy.
