1. Yahweh my God, I seek refuge in You; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me
2. or they will tear me like a lion,ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.
3. Yahweh my God, if I have done this,if there is injustice on my hands,
4. if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,
5. may an enemy pursue and overtake me;may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
6. Rise up, Lord, in Your anger;lift Yourself up against the fury of my adversaries; awake for me; You have ordained a judgment.
7. Let the assembly of peoples gather around You; take Your seat on high over it.
8. The Lord judges the peoples; vindicate me, Lord,according to my righteousness and my integrity.
