{Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;

tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

or am guilty of injustice,

Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;
if I have betrayed a friend
or plundered my enemy without cause,
or plundered my enemy without cause,
If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)
then let my enemies capture me.
Let them trample me into the ground
and drag my honor in the dust.

Declare me righteous, O LORD,
for I am innocent, O Most High!

Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
End the evil of those who are wicked,
and defend the righteous.
For you look deep within the mind and heart,
O righteous God.
and defend the righteous.
For you look deep within the mind and heart,
O righteous God.
Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteous God.
God is my shield,
saving those whose hearts are true and right.
saving those whose hearts are true and right.
My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
God is an honest judge.
He is angry with the wicked every day.
He is angry with the wicked every day.
God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant all the day.
If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
He will prepare his deadly weapons
and shoot his flaming arrows.
and shoot his flaming arrows.
And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
The wicked conceive evil;
they are pregnant with trouble
and give birth to lies.

They dig a deep pit to trap others,
then fall into it themselves.

He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
The trouble they make for others backfires on them.
The violence they plan falls on their own heads.
The violence they plan falls on their own heads.
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
