|
I come to you for protection, O LORD my God. Save me from my persecutors-- rescue me! |
2
|
If you don't, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me. |
3
|
O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice, |
4
|
if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause, |
5
|
then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground and drag my honor in the dust. Interlude |
6
|
Arise, O LORD, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice! |
7
|
Gather the nations before you. Rule over them from on high. |
8
|
The LORD judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O LORD, for I am innocent, O Most High! |
9
|
End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God. |
10
|
God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. |
11
|
God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day. |
12
|
If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. |
13
|
He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows. |
14
|
The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. |
15
|
They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves. |
16
|
The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads. |
17
|
I will thank the LORD because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. For the choir director: A psalm of David, to be accompanied by a stringed instrument. |
