3. Otherwise he will rip me apart like a lion, with no one to rescue me.
4. Adonai my God, if I have done this— if there is guilt on my hands,
5. if I have paid back evil to anyone at peace with me, or unjustly attacked my adversary,
6. then let the enemy chase me, overtake me, and trample me into the ground, leaving my honor in the dirt! Selah
7. Arise, Adonai, in Your anger, arise against the fury of my enemies! Awake for me! You decreed justice.
8. Let an assembly of peoples gather around You and return on high, above them.
9. Adonai judges the peoples. Vindicate me, Adonai, according to my righteousness and integrity in me.
10. Please, end the evil of the wicked and sustain the righteous. A just God examines hearts and minds.
11. My shield is God— Savior of the upright in heart.
12. God is a righteous judge, a God who is indignant every day.
