1 O LORD my God, in You I put my trust; save me from all those who persecute
me; and deliver me, 2 Lest they tear me like a lion, rending me in pieces, while there is
none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands, 4 if I have
repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have plundered my enemy without
cause, 5 let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; yes, let him trample my life to the
earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; lift Yourself up because of the rage of my
enemies; rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded! 7 So the congregation
of the peoples shall surround You; for their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my
righteousness, and according to my integrity within me.
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just;
for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds. 10 My defense is of God, who saves
the upright in heart. 11 God is a just judge, and God is angry with the wicked every
day. 12 If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and
makes it ready. 13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His
arrows into fiery shafts.
14 Behold, the wicked brings
forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives
trouble and brings forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit and dug it out, and
has fallen into the ditch which he
made. 16 His trouble shall return upon
his own head, and his violent dealing
shall come down on his own crown.
17 I will praise the LORD
according to His righteousness, and
will sing praise to the name of the
LORD Most High.
