6They conspire, they lurk, they watch my steps while they wait to take my life.
“They gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps when they wait for my soul.”
“they gather themselves together. They hide themselves. They mark my steps. They wait for my soul.”
7In spite of such sin, will they escape? In Your anger, O God, cast down the nations.
“Shall they escape by iniquity? In thine anger, cast down the people, O God.”
