1O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me, 2Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands; 4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary); 5Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah 6Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment. 7And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high. 8Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me. 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts. 10My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart. 11God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day. 12If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready; 13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery shafts. 14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made. 16His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate. 17I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
