The LORD Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.
A● Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD† concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.
O LORD my God, ain You I have taken refuge;Save me from all those who pursue me, and brescue me,2 Or he will tear 1my soul alike a lion,Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this,If there is ainjustice in my hands,4 If I have adone evil to 1my friend,Or have bplundered 2my enemy for no reason,5 Let the enemy pursue 1my soul and overtake 2it;And let him trample my life to the groundAnd lay my glory in the dust.Selah
6 aArise, LORD, in Your anger;bRaise Yourself against cthe rage of my enemies,And dstir Yourself 1for me; You have ordered judgment.7 Let the assembly of the apeoples encompass You,And return on high over it.8 The LORD ajudges the peoples;1bVindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.9 Please let athe evil of the wicked come to an end, but bestablish the righteous;For the righteous God cputs hearts and 1minds to the test.10 My ashield is 1with God,Who bsaves the upright in heart.11 God is a arighteous judge,And a God who bshows indignation every day.
12 If one adoes not repent, He will bsharpen His sword;He has cbent His bow and taken aim.13 He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself;He makes His aarrows fiery shafts.14 Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice,And he aconceives harm and gives birth to lies.15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,And has afallen into the hole which he made.16 His aharm will return on his own head,And his bviolence will descend on the top of his own head.
17 I will give thanks to the LORD aaccording to His righteousnessAnd will bsing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

In You I Have Taken Refuge
A● Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Yahweh concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.
O Yahweh my God, ain You I have taken refuge;Save me from all those who pursue me, and bdeliver me,2 Lest he tear 1my soul alike a lion,Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Yahweh my God, if I have done this,If there is ainjustice in my hands,4 If I have arewarded evil to him who 1is at peace with me,Or have bplundered my adversary without cause,5 Let the enemy pursue 1my soul and overtake 2it;And let him trample my life down to the groundAnd cause my glory to dwell in the dust.3Selah.
6 aArise, O Yahweh, in Your anger;bLift up Yourself against cthe fury of my adversaries,And darouse Yourself 1for me; You have appointed judgment.7 Let the congregation of the apeoples encompass You,And over 1them return on high.8 Yahweh ajudges the peoples;1bGive justice to me, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.9 O let athe evil of the wicked come to an end, but bestablish the righteous;For the righteous God ctests the hearts and 1minds.10 My ashield is 1with God,Who bsaves the upright in heart.11 God is a arighteous judge,And a God who has bindignation every day.
12 If 1a man adoes not repent, He will bsharpen His sword;He has cbent His bow and prepared it.13 He has also prepared 1for Himself deadly weapons;He makes His aarrows fiery shafts.14 Behold, he travails with wickedness,And he aconceives mischief and gives birth to falsehood.15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,And has afallen into the hole which he made.16 His amischief will return upon his own head,And his bviolence will descend upon 1his own skull.
17 I will give thanks to Yahweh aaccording to His righteousnessAnd will bsing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
