112O Lord my GodH430, 3in You I have takenH2620 refugeH2620; SaveH3467 me from allH3605 those who pursueH7291 me, and 4deliverH5337 me,2OrH6435 he will tearH2963 5my soulH5315 6like a lionH743, 7DraggingH6561 me awayH6561, while thereH369 is noneH369 to deliverH5337.
3O LordH3068 my GodH430, ifH518 I have doneH6213 thisH2088, IfH518 thereH3426 is 8injusticeH5766 in my handsH3709,4IfH518 I have 9rewardedH1580 evilH7451 to 10my friendH7999, Or have 11plunderedH2502 12him who withoutH7387 causeH7387 was my adversaryH6887,5Let the enemyH340 pursueH7291 13my soulH5315 and overtakeH5381 14it; And let him trampleH7429 my lifeH2425 downH7429 to the groundH776 And layH7931 my gloryH3519 in the dustH6083. 15SelahH5542.
616AriseH6965, O LordH3068, in Your angerH639; 17LiftH5375 up Yourself against 18the rageH5678 of my adversariesH6887, And 19arouseH5782 Yourself 20for me; You have appointedH6680 judgmentH4941.7Let the assemblyH5712 of the 21peoplesH3816 encompassH5437 You, And overH5921 22them returnH7725 on highH4791.8The LordH3068 23judgesH1777 the peoplesH5971; 2425VindicateH8199 me, O LordH3068, according to my righteousnessH6664 and my integrityH8537 that is in me.9OH4994 let 26the evilH7451 of the wickedH7563 comeH1584 to an endH1584, but 27establishH3559 the righteousH6662; For the righteousH6662 GodH430 28triesH974 the heartsH3820 and 29mindsH3629.
