|
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 honour 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.
