- 1O LORD my God, I put my trust in you. Save me from all who persecute me, and deliver me,
- 2lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
- 3O LORD my God, if I have done this — if there is iniquity in my hands —
- 4if I have repaid evil to him that was at peace with me (indeed, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy) —
- 5then let the enemy persecute my soul and take it; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
- 6Arise, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up because of the rage of my enemies, and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
- 7So shall the congregation of the peoples surround you; for their sakes return on high.
- 8The LORD shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to my integrity that is in me.
- 9Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just, for the righteous God tries the hearts and innermost parts.
- 10My defense is from God, who saves the upright in heart.
- 11God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
- 12If he does not turn, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow and made it ready.
- 13He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
- 14Look, he labors with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
- 15He made a pit and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.
- 16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own head.
- 17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
