1. O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
2. lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
3. O Lord my God, if I have done this,if there is wrong in my hands,
4. if I have repaid my friend with evilor plundered my enemy without cause,
5. let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,and let him trample my life to the groundand lay my glory in the dust. Selah
6. Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
7. Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;over it return on high.
