¹ O Lord my God, ^(a)in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and ^(b)deliver me,
² Or he will tear ^[c]my soul ^(c)like a lion,
^[d]Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.

³ O Lord my God, if I have done this,
If there is ^(d)injustice in my hands,
⁴ If I have ^(e)rewarded evil to ^[e]my friend,
Or have ^(f)plundered ^[f]him who without cause was my adversary,
⁵ Let the enemy pursue ^[g]my soul and overtake ^[h]it;
And let him trample my life down to the ground
And lay my glory in the dust. ^[i]Selah.

^6 (g)Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
^(h)Lift up Yourself against ⁽ⁱ⁾the rage of my adversaries,
And ^(j)arouse Yourself ^[j]for me; You have appointed judgment.
⁷ Let the assembly of the ^(k)peoples encompass You,
And over ^[k]them return on high.
⁸ The Lord ^(l)judges the peoples;
^[l](m)Vindicate me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
⁹ O let ⁽ⁿ⁾the evil of the wicked come to an end, but ^(o)establish the righteous;
For the righteous God ^(p)tries the hearts and ^[m]minds.
¹⁰ My ^(q)shield is ^[n]with God,
Who ^(r)saves the upright in heart.
¹¹ God is a ^(s)righteous judge,
And a God who has ^(t)indignation every day.

¹² If ^[o]a man ^(u)does not repent, He will ^(v)sharpen His sword;
He has ^(w)bent His bow and ^[p]made it ready.
¹³ He has also prepared ^[q]for Himself deadly weapons;
He makes His ^(x)arrows fiery shafts.
¹⁴ Behold, he travails with wickedness,
And he ^(y)conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.
¹⁵ He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has ^(z)fallen into the hole which he made.
¹⁶ His ^(aa)mischief will return upon his own head,
And his ^(ab)violence will descend upon ^[r]his own pate.

¹⁷ I will give thanks to the Lord ^(ac)according to His righteousness
And will ^(ad)sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
