let them go—literally, "they will go."

among them—or, "within them," in their hearts (Ps 5:9; 49:11).

Psalms 55:23

23. bloody . . . days—(compare Ps 5:6; 51:14), deceit and murderous dispositions often united. The threat is directed specially (not as a general truth) against the wicked, then in the writer's view.
