Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

Deliver me from them that work iniquity, and save me from bloody men.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from men of blood.

Take me out of the power of the workers of evil, and keep me safe from the men of blood.

Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God; set me on high from them that rise up against me.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity - The workers of iniquity here referred to were Saul and those whom he employed to carry out his murderous purpose - the people that had been sent to slay him.
And save me from bloody men - Hebrew, "Men of bloods;" that is, men whose trade is blood; who seek to shed my blood, or who seek my life. See Psalm 5:6, note; Psalm 26:9, note; Psalm 55:23, note.

The workers of iniquity - Principally Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian; who were the chief enemies of the poor returned captives.
Bloody men - The above, who sought the destruction of the Israelites; and particularly, that of Nehemiah, whom four several times they endeavored to bring into an ambush, that they might take away his life. See Nehemiah 6:1-4.

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity,.... See Gill on Psalm 6:8;
and save me from bloody men; such as Saul sent to kill David, as appears from the title of the psalm; and such as were concerned in the death of Christ; and such, are the enemies of God's people, the followers of the man of sin. The heap of words, the various expressions used in a way of petition, in this verse and Psalm 59:1, show the distress the psalmist was in, and whom he represents; his importunity, earnestness, and fervency in prayer.

(Compare Psalm 5:5; Psalm 6:8).
