¹ Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Yahweh my God, in you I take refuge: Save me from all those that pursue me, and deliver me,² Or else they will tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.³ O Yahweh my God, if I have done this; If there is iniquity in my hands;⁴ If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (Yes, I have delivered him that without cause was my adversary;)⁵ Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah.⁶ Arise, O Yahweh, in your anger; Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And awake for me; you have commanded judgment.⁷ And let the congregation of the peoples compass you about; And over them you return on high.⁸ Yahweh shall judge the peoples: Judge me, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.⁹ O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but you establish the righteous: For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

¹⁰ My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.¹¹ God is a righteous judge, Yes, a God that has indignation every day.¹² If a man doesn't turn, he will whet his sword; He has bent his bow, and made it ready.¹³ He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; He makes his arrows fiery [shafts].¹⁴ Look, he travails with iniquity; Yes, he has become pregnant with mischief, and given birth to falsehood.¹⁵ He has made a pit, and dug it, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.¹⁶ His mischief shall return on his own head, And his violence shall come down on his own pate.¹⁷ I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
