Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O JehovahH3068 my GodH430, in thee do I take refugeH2620: SaveH3467 me from all them that pursueH7291 me, and deliverH5337 me, Lest they tearH2963 my soulH5315 like a lionH738, Rending it in piecesH6561, while there is none to deliverH5337. O JehovahH3068 my GodH430, if I have doneH6213 this; If there beH3426 iniquityH5766 in my handsH3709; If I have rewardedH1580 evilH7451 unto him that was at peaceH7999 with me; (Yea, I have deliveredH2502 him that without causeH7387 was mine adversaryH6887;) Let the enemyH341 pursueH7291 my soulH5315, and overtakeH5381 it; Yea, let him tread my lifeH2416 downH7429 to the earthH776, And layH7931 my gloryH3519 in the dustH6083. {{Selah AriseH6965, O JehovahH3068, in thine angerH639; Lift upH5375 thyself against the rageH5678 of mine adversariesH6887, And awakeH5782 for me; thou hast commandedH6680 judgmentH4941. And let the congregationH5712 of the peoplesH3816 compass thee aboutH5437; And over them returnH7725 thou on highH4791. JehovahH3068 ministereth judgmentH1777 to the peoplesH5971: JudgeH8199 me, O JehovahH3068, according to my righteousnessH6664, and to mine integrityH8537 that is in me. O let the wickednessH7451 of the wickedH7563 come to an endH1584, but establishH3559 thou the righteousH6662: For the righteousH6662 GodH430 triethH974 the mindsH3629 and heartsH3826. My shieldH4043 is with GodH430, Who savethH3467 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820. GodH430 is a righteousH6662 judgeH8199, Yea, a GodH410 that hath indignationH2194 every dayH3117. If a man turnH7725 not, he will whetH3913 his swordH2719; He hath bentH1869 his bowH7198, and made it readyH3559. He hath also preparedH3559 for him the instrumentsH3627 of deathH4194; He makethH6466 his arrowsH2671 fiery shaftsH1814. Behold, he travailethH2254 with iniquityH205; Yea, he hath conceivedH2029 mischiefH5999, and brought forthH3205 falsehoodH8267. He hath madeH3738 a pitH953, and diggedH2658 it, And is fallenH5307 into the ditchH7845 which he madeH6466. His mischiefH5999 shall returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, And his violenceH2555 shall come downH3381 upon his own pateH6936. I will give thanksH3034 unto JehovahH3068 according to his righteousnessH6664, And will sing praiseH2167 to the nameH8034 of JehovahH3068 Most HighH5945.
