| 1. | {Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} |
| 2. | Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me; |
| 3. | Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer. |
| 4. | Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands; |
| 5. | If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;) |
| 6. | Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take it, and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah. |
| 7. | Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment. |
| 8. | And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high. |
| 9. | Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me. |
| 10. | Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous man; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God. |
| 11. | My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart. |
| 12. | God is a righteous judge, and a łGod who is indignant all the day. |
| 13. | If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready, |
| 14. | And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning. |
| 15. | Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood: |
| 16. | He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made. |
| 17. | His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate. |
| 18. | I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High. |
