MLV(i)
1 O Jehovah my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me and deliver me,
2 lest they tear my soul like a lion, tearing it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there is unrighteousness in my hands, 4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yes, I have delivered him without cause who 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.
6 Arise, O Jehovah, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries and awake for me the justice you have commanded. 7 And let the congregation of the peoples encompass you about and return on high over them.
8 Jehovah will judge the peoples. Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness and to my integrity that is in me.
9 O let the evil of the wicked man come to an end, but establish the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge. Yes, a God who has indignation every day.
12 If a man does not repent, he will flash his sword. He has bent his bow and made it ready. 13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death. He makes his arrows fiery.
14 Behold the wicked man, he travails with wickedness. Yes, he has conceived mischief and brought out falsehood. 15 He has made a pit and dug it and has fallen into the ditch which he made. 16 His mischief will return upon his own head and his violence will come down upon his own scalp.
17 I will give thanks to Jehovah according to his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
