I Take Refuge in You
{Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
{Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
or they will tear me apart like a lion
and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Lord my God, if I have done this
and there is guilt on my hands —
and there is guilt on my hands —
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
if I have repaid my ally with evil
or without cause have robbed my foe —
or without cause have robbed my foe —
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
Arise, Lord, in your anger;
rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.
rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.
Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
while you sit enthroned over them on high.
while you sit enthroned over them on high.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
Let the Lord judge the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
and make the righteous secure —
you, the righteous God
who probes minds and hearts.
and make the righteous secure —
you, the righteous God
who probes minds and hearts.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
God is a righteous judge,
a God who displays his wrath every day.
a God who displays his wrath every day.
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he makes ready his flaming arrows.
he makes ready his flaming arrows.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
Whoever is pregnant with evil
conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit they have made.
falls into the pit they have made.
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
The trouble they cause recoils on them;
their violence comes down on their own heads.
their violence comes down on their own heads.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
