3O LordH3068 my GodH430, ifH518 I have doneH6213 thisH2088, IfH518 thereH3426 isH3426 5injusticeH5766 in my handsH3709,4IfH518 I have 6doneH1580 evilH7451 to 7my friendH7999, Or have 8plunderedH2502 9my enemyH6887 forH7387 noH7387 reasonH7387,5Let the enemyH340 pursueH7291 10my soulH5315 and overtakeH5381 11it; And let him trampleH7429 my lifeH2425 to the groundH776 And layH7931 my gloryH3519 in the dustH6083.

12IfH518 one 30does not repentH7725, He will 31sharpenH3913 His swordH2719; He has 32bentH1869 His bowH7198 and takenH3559 aimH3559.13He has also preparedH3559 deadlyH4194 weaponsH3627 for Himself; He makesH6466 His 33arrowsH2671 fieryH1814 shafts.14BeholdH2009, an evil person isH2254 pregnantH2254 with injusticeH205, And he 34conceivesH2029 harmH5999 and givesH3205 birthH3205 to liesH8267.15He has dugH3738 a pitH953 and hollowedH2658 it outH2658, And has 35fallenH5307 into the holeH7845 which he madeH6466.16His 36harmH5999 will returnH7725 on his own headH7218, And his 37violenceH2555 will descendH3381 on the topH6936 ofH6936 his own headH6936.

17I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 38according to His righteousnessH6664 And will 39singH2167 praiseH2167 to the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 MostH5945 HighH5945.
