Lord my God, I have taken refuge in you
Rescue and deliver me from all those who are pursuing me.
Otherwise they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces
And there will be no one to rescue me.
O Lord my God, if I have done things deserving of this
Or if my hands are guilty of such wrongdoing
If I have rewarded friendship with evil
Or have plundered my enemy without just cause,
Then you should allow my enemies to pursue me and overtake me.
Let him trample my life to the ground
And bury my glory in the dust of the earth.
[Pause now and reflect]
Rise up O Lord and stir your anger
Rise up against the anger of my enemies
Wake up O God and bring about justice.
Gather the nations before you
And rule over them from on high
The Lord judges the nations.
Vindicate me O Lord, according to my righteousness
And according to my integrity, O God most high
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
And make the righteous people secure.
For you search deeply into minds and hearts
You are the righteous God.
God is my shield
He is the one who saves those whose hearts are true and right.
God is a righteous judge and feels indignant about wickedness every
day.
If a person does not repent it is God who will sharpen the sword
And he will be the one to bend and make ready his bow.
It is he who has prepared his deadly weapons
And has made ready his flaming arrows.
The wicked conceive evil;
They are pregnant with trouble
And give birth to lies.
They dig their holes to trap others
But fall into it themselves.
The trouble they cause backfires on them.
The violence they plan falls on their own heads.
So I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness.
I will sing praises to the Lord most high.
