You see me

And examine my heart’s attitude toward You.

Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter

And set them apart for a day of carnage!

3But You, O Lord, know me [and understand my devotion to You];

You see me;

And You examine the attitude of my heart toward You.

Drag out the faithless like sheep for the slaughter [O Lord]

And set them apart for the day of slaughter.

You test my thoughts about you.

Drag those people off like sheep to be killed!

Set them apart for the day of their death!
