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.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 59 of Psalms. Psalm 59 describes a persecution in which enemies watch the psalmist’s house and wait for his downfall. The prayer asks God not only to protect him, but to make his rule visible among the nations. Images of dogs roaming the city emphasize the constant threat. Against them, the psalmist repeatedly declares that God is his strength and refuge, transforming danger into a permanent reason for song.

Errette mich von den Übeltätern und hilf mir von den Blutgierigen.
Porque he aquí están acechando mi vida: Hanse juntado contra mí fuertes, No por falta mía, ni pecado mío, oh Jehová.
Mira cómo acechan mi vida; hombres feroces se reúnen contra mí, aunque no he cometido rebelión ni pecado, Jehová.
Car voici, ils sont aux aguets pour m'ôter la vie; Des hommes violents complotent contre moi, Sans que je sois coupable, sans que j'aie péché, ô Eternel!
Perciocchè, ecco, han posti agguati all’anima mia; Uomini possenti si son raunati contro a me; Senza che vi sia in me, nè misfatto, nè peccato, o Signore.
Pois eis que põem ciladas à minha alma; os fortes se ajuntam contra mim, não por transgressão minha ou por pecado meu, ó SENHOR.
因為他們埋伏要害我命, 強悍的人聚集攻擊我, 耶和華啊,不是為我的過犯, 也不是為我的罪愆。
