1. Lord my God, I take refuge in you;save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
2. or they will tear me apart like a lionand rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3. Lord my God, if I have done thisand there is guilt on my hands –
4. if I have repaid my ally with evilor without cause have robbed my foe –
5. then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;let him trample my life to the groundand make me sleep in the dust.
