Psalm 59:3

God Our Stronghold

² Deliver me from those who practice sin,
and save me from men of bloodshed.
³ Lord, look! They set an ambush for me.
Powerful men attack me,
but not because of any sin or rebellion of mine.
⁴ For no fault of mine,
they run and take up a position.
Awake to help me, and take notice.
