Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Lord,
concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
O Lord my
God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all
them that persecute me, and deliver me:
02 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it
in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
03 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there
be iniquity in my hands;
04 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at
peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that
without cause is mine enemy:)
05 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it;
yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,
and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
06 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself
because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake
for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
07 So shall the congregation of the people
compass thee about: for their sakes therefore
return thou on high.
08 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O
Lord, according to my righteousness, and
according to mine integrity that is in me.

09 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an
end; but establish the just: for the righteous
God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright
in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry
with the wicked 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 which 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 the Lord according to his
righteousness: and will sing praise to the name
of the Lord most high.
