- 1
- O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
- 2
- or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
- 3
- O LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands--
- 4
- if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me or without cause have robbed my foe--
- 5
- then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust. Selah
- 6
- Arise, O LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.
- 7
- Let the assembled peoples gather around you. Rule over them from on high;
- 8
- let the LORD judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High.
- 9
- O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.
- 10

- 14
- He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment.
- 15

- Declare them guilty, O God! Let their intrigues be their downfall. Banish them for their many sins, for they have rebelled against you.
- 11
- But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.
- 12
