Shiggaion{H7692} of David{H1732}, which he sang{H7891}{(H8804)} unto the LORD{H3068}, concerning the words{H1697} of Cush{H3568} the Benjamite{H1121}{H1145}. O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, in thee do I put my trust{H2620}{(H8804)}: save{H3467}{(H8685)} me from all them that persecute{H7291}{(H8802)} me, and deliver{H5337}{(H8685)} me:

Lest he tear{H2963}{(H8799)} my soul{H5315} like a lion{H738}, rending it in pieces{H6561}{(H8802)}, while there is none to deliver{H5337}{(H8688)}.

O LORD{H3068} my God{H430}, if I have done{H6213}{(H8804)} this; if there be{H3426} iniquity{H5766} in my hands{H3709};

If I have rewarded{H1580}{(H8804)} evil{H7451} unto him that was at peace{H7999}{(H8802)} with me;(yea, I have delivered{H2502}{(H8762)} him that without cause{H7387} is mine enemy{H6887}{(H8802)}:)

Let the enemy{H341}{(H8802)} persecute{H7291}{(H8762)} my soul{H5315}, and take{H5381}{(H8686)} it; yea, let him tread down{H7429}{(H8799)} my life{H2416} upon the earth{H776}, and lay{H7931}{(H8686)} mine honour{H3519} in the dust{H6083}. Selah{H5542}.

Arise{H6965}{(H8798)}, O LORD{H3068}, in thine anger{H639}, lift up{H5375}{(H8734)} thyself because of the rage{H5678} of mine enemies{H6887}{(H8802)}: and awake{H5782}{(H8798)} for me to the judgment{H4941} that thou hast commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}.

So shall the congregation{H5712} of the people{H3816} compass thee about{H5437}{(H8779)}: for their sakes therefore return{H7725}{(H8798)} thou on high{H4791}.

The LORD{H3068} shall judge{H1777}{(H8799)} the people{H5971}: judge{H8199}{(H8798)} me, O LORD{H3068}, according to my righteousness{H6664}, and according to mine integrity{H8537} that is in me.

Oh let the wickedness{H7451} of the wicked{H7563} come to an end{H1584}{(H8799)}; but establish{H3559}{(H8787)} the just{H6662}: for the righteous{H6662} God{H430} trieth{H974}{(H8802)} the hearts{H3826} and reins{H3629}.

My defence{H4043} is of God{H430}, which saveth{H3467}{(H8688)} the upright{H3477} in heart{H3820}.

God{H430} judgeth{H8199}{(H8802)} the righteous{H6662}, and God{H410} is angry{H2194}{(H8802)} with the wicked every day{H3117}.

If he turn{H7725}{(H8799)} not, he will whet{H3913}{(H8799)} his sword{H2719}; he hath bent{H1869}{(H8804)} his bow{H7198}, and made it ready{H3559}{(H8787)}.

He hath also prepared{H3559}{(H8689)} for him the instruments{H3627} of death{H4194}; he ordaineth{H6466}{(H8799)} his arrows{H2671} against the persecutors{H1814}{(H8801)}.

Behold, he travaileth{H2254}{(H8762)} with iniquity{H205}, and hath conceived{H2029}{(H8804)} mischief{H5999}, and brought forth{H3205}{(H8804)} falsehood{H8267}.

He made{H3738}{(H8804)} a pit{H953}, and digged{H2658}{(H8799)} it, and is fallen{H5307}{(H8799)} into the ditch{H7845} which he made{H6466}{(H8799)}.

His mischief{H5999} shall return{H7725}{(H8799)} upon his own head{H7218}, and his violent{H2555} dealing shall come down{H3381}{(H8799)} upon his own pate{H6936}.

I will praise{H3034}{(H8686)} the LORD{H3068} according to his righteousness{H6664}: and will sing praise{H2167}{(H8762)} to the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} most high{H5945}.
