4. or have wronged my ally,or helped his lawless enemy,
5. may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me;may he trample me to deathand leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah)
6. Stand up angrily, Lord!Rise up with raging fury against my enemies!Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them!
7. The countries are assembled all around you;take once more your rightful place over them!
8. The Lord judges the nations.Vindicate me, Lord, because I am innocent,because I am blameless, O Exalted One!
9. May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end!But make the innocent secure,O righteous God,you who examine inner thoughts and motives!
10. The Exalted God is my shield,the one who delivers the morally upright.
