1	O LORD my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
2	or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.
3	O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
4	if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause,
5	then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. Selah
6	Rise up, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.
7	Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high.
8	The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
9	O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.
10	God is my shield, who saves the upright in heart.
11	God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.
12	If one does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow;
13	he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
14	See how they conceive evil, and are pregnant with mischief, and bring forth lies.
15	They make a pit, digging it out, and fall into the hole that they have made.
16	Their mischief returns upon their own heads, and on their own heads their violence descends.
17	I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.
