1Shiggaion7692 of David1732, which he sang7891 unto the LORD3068, concerning the words1697 of Cush3568 the Benjamite1121 1145. O LORD3068 my God430, in thee do I put my trust2620: save3467 me from all them that persecute7291 me, and deliver5337 me:
2Lest he tear2963 my soul5315 like a lion738, rending it in pieces6561, while there is none to deliver5337.
3O LORD3068 my God430, if I have done6213 this; if there be3426 iniquity5766 in my hands3709;
4If I have rewarded1580 evil7451 unto him that was at peace7999 with me; (yea, I have delivered2502 him that without cause7387 is mine enemy6887:)
5Let the enemy341 persecute7291 my soul5315, and take5381 it; yea, let him tread down7429 my life2416 upon the earth776, and lay7931 mine honour3519 in the dust6083. Selah5542.
6Arise6965, O LORD3068, in thine anger639, lift up5375 thyself because of the rage5678 of mine enemies6887: and awake5782 for me to the judgment4941 that thou hast commanded6680.
7So shall the congregation5712 of the people3816 compass thee about5437: for their sakes therefore return7725 thou on high4791.
8The LORD3068 shall judge1777 the people5971: judge8199 me, O LORD3068, according to my righteousness6664, and according to mine integrity8537 that is in me.
9Oh let the wickedness7451 of the wicked7563 come to an end1584; but establish3559 the just6662: for the righteous6662 God430 trieth974 the hearts3826 and reins3629.
10My defence4043 is of God430, which saveth3467 the upright3477 in heart3820.
11God430 judgeth8199 the righteous6662, and God410 is angry2194 with the wicked every day3117.
12If he turn7725 not, he will whet3913 his sword2719; he hath bent1869 his bow7198, and made it ready3559.
13He hath also prepared3559 for him the instruments3627 of death4194; he ordaineth6466 his arrows2671 against the persecutors1814.
14Behold, he travaileth2254 with iniquity205, and hath conceived2029 mischief5999, and brought forth3205 falsehood8267.
15He made3738 a pit953, and digged2658 it, and is fallen5307 into the ditch7845 which he made6466.
16His mischief5999 shall return7725 upon his own head7218, and his violent2555 dealing shall come down3381 upon his own pate6936.
17I will praise3034 the LORD3068 according to his righteousness6664: and will sing praise2167 to the name8034 of the LORD3068 most high5945.
