5. If I have maltreated someone treating me equitably—or even despoiled my oppressor without cause—
6. Then let my enemy pursue and overtake my soul,trample my life to the ground,and lay my honor in the dust.Selah
7. Rise up, Lord, in your anger;be aroused against the outrages of my oppressors.Stir up the justice, my God, you have commanded.
8. Have the assembly of the peoples gather about you;and return on high above them,
9. the Lord will pass judgment on the peoples.Judge me, Lord, according to my righteousness,and my integrity.
10. Let the malice of the wicked end.Uphold the just one,O just God,who tries hearts and minds.
11. God is a shield above mesaving the upright of heart.
12. God is a just judge, powerful and patient,not exercising anger every day.
13. If one does not repent,God sharpens his sword,strings and readies the bow,
