1O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:studyinterlinear
2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.studyinterlinear
3O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;studyinterlinear
4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)studyinterlinear
5Let 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.studyinterlinear
6Arise, 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.studyinterlinear
7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.studyinterlinear
8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.studyinterlinear
9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.studyinterlinear
10My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.studyinterlinear
11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.studyinterlinear
12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.studyinterlinear
13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.studyinterlinear
14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.studyinterlinear
15He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.studyinterlinear
16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.studyinterlinear
17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.studyinterlinear
