1. Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2. lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
3. Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
4. if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
5. let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
