|
|
1 |
O LORD my God, in
thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver
me:
|
|
|
2 |
Lest he tear my soul
like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
|
|
3 |
O LORD my God, if I
have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
|
|
4 |
If I have rewarded
evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that
without cause is mine enemy:)
|
|
5 |
Let the enemy
persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the
earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
|
|
6 |
Arise, O LORD, in
thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake
for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
|
|
7 |
So shall the
congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore
return thou on high.
|
|
8 |
The LORD shall judge
the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according
to mine integrity that is in me.
|
|
9 |
Oh let the
wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the
righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
|
|
10 |
My defence is of
God, which saveth the upright in heart. |
|
11 |
God judgeth the
righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
|
|
12 |
If he turn not, he
will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
|
|
13 |
He hath also
prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against
the persecutors.
|
|
14 |
Behold, he
travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth
falsehood.
|
|
15 |
He made a pit, and
digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
|
|
16 |
His mischief shall
return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his
own pate.
|
|
17 |
I will praise the
LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the
LORD most high.
