[A musical composition by David, which he sang to the LORD concerning a Benjaminite named Cush.] O LORD my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me! |
2
|
Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me. |
3
|
O LORD my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions, |
4
|
or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy, |
5
|
may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah) |
6
|
Stand up angrily, LORD! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them! |
7
|
The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them! |
8
|
The LORD judges the nations. Vindicate me, LORD, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One! |
9
|
May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives! |
10
|
The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright. |
11
|
God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. |
12
|
If a person does not repent, God sharpens his sword and prepares to shoot his bow. |
13
|
He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows. |
14
|
See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies— |
15
|
he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made. |
16
|
He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. |
17
|
I will thank the LORD for his justice; I will sing praises to the sovereign LORD! |
