  • 1. ¶ O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me; from all them that persecute me, deliver me,
  • 2. Lest my soul be torn as by a lion, and there is no one to save me and to deliver me.
  • 3. O LORD my God, if I have done this thing and if there be iniquity in my hands,
  • 4. If I have been vengeful to him that has done me evil, and if I have oppressed my enemies without a cause;
  • 5. Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me, yea, let him tread clown my life upon the earth and lay my honor in the dust.
  • 6. Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself over the neck of mine enemies; and make me alert in the judgment that thou hast commanded.
  • 7. Let the congregation of the peoples circle thee about; and 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 the integrity that is in me.
  • 9. Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; and establish thou the righteous, O thou searcher of hearts and souls.
  • 10. ¶ O God who saveth the upright in heart, O righteous God, help me.
  • 11. God is a righteous judge; yea he is not angry every day.
  • 12. If he turn not from his anger, he will whet his sword and bend his bow and make it ready.
  • 13. He has also prepared for himself the instruments of wrath; he pointed his arrows against the persecutor.
  • 14. Because the wicked has become corrupt and has conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood,
  • 15. He has made a well, and deepened it, and is fallen into the pit which he made.
  • 16. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his iniquity upon his own pate.
  • 17. I will praise the LORD according to my righteousness; and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
