O LORD my God
, ain You I have taken
refuge
; Save
me from all
those who pursue
me, and bdeliver
me,
Or he will tear
1my soul
alike a lion
, 2Dragging
me away
, while there
is none
to deliver
.
O LORD my God
, if
I have done
this
, If
there
is ainjustice
in my hands
,
If I have arewarded
evil
to 1my friend
, Or have bplundered
2him who without
cause
was my adversary
,
Let the enemy pursue
1my soul
and overtake
2it; And let him trample
my life
down
to the ground
And lay
my glory
in the dust
. 3Selah
.
aArise, O LORD
, in Your anger
; bLift
up Yourself against cthe rage
of my adversaries
, And darouse
Yourself 1for me; You have appointed
judgment
.
Let the assembly of the apeoples
encompass
You, And over
1them return
on high
.
The LORD ajudges
the peoples
; 1 bVindicate
me, O LORD
, according to my righteousness
and my integrity
that is in me.
O let athe evil
of the wicked
come
to an end
, but bestablish
the righteous
; For the righteous
God
ctries
the hearts
and 1minds
.
My ashield is 1with God
, Who bsaves
the upright
in heart
.
God is a arighteous
judge
, And a God
who has bindignation
every
day
.
If 1a man adoes not repent
, He will bsharpen
His sword
; He has cbent
His bow
and 2made
it ready
.
He has also prepared 1for Himself deadly
weapons
; He makes
His aarrows
fiery
shafts
.
Behold, he travails
with wickedness
, And he aconceives
mischief
and brings
forth
falsehood
.
He has dug a pit
and hollowed
it out, And has afallen
into the hole
which he made
.
His amischief will return
upon his own head
, And his bviolence
will descend
upon 1his own pate
.
I will give thanks
to the LORD
aaccording to His righteousness
And will bsing
praise
to the name
of the LORD
Most
High
.
