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, Rending it in pieces, while there is none 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, 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.
6
Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
7
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
8
Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, And to my integrity that is in me.
