1. O יְהוָ֥ה my Elohim, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

2. Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending in pieces, while none to deliver.

3. O יְהוָ֥ה my Elohim, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

4. If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

5. Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

6. Arise, O יְהוָ֥ה, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me the judgment thou hast commanded.

7. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

8. יְהוָ֥ה shall judge the people: judge me, O יְהוָ֥ה, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity in me.

9. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous Elohim trieth the hearts and reins.

10. My defence of Elohim, which saveth the upright in heart.

11. Elohim judgeth the righteous, and Elohim is angry every day.

12. If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

13. He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

14. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

15. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch he made.

16. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

17. I will praise יְהוָ֥ה according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of יְהוָ֥ה most high.
