1. O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;Save me from all those who persecute me;And deliver me,
2. Lest they tear me like a lion,Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3. O Lord my God, if I have done this:If there is iniquity in my hands,
4. If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,Or have plundered my enemy without cause,
5. Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,And lay my honor in the dust.Selah
6. Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
7. So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8. The Lord shall judge the peoples;Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,And according to my integrity within me.
9. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,But establish the just;For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
10. My defense is of God,Who saves the upright in heart.
11. God is a just judge,And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12. If he does not turn back,He will sharpen His sword;He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13. He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
