¹ `The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.² Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.³ O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,⁴ If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,⁵ An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.⁶ Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:⁷ And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,⁸ Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,⁹ Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

¹⁰ My shield [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!¹¹ God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.¹² If [one] turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,¹³ Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.¹⁴ Lo, he travaileth [with] iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.¹⁵ A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.¹⁶ Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.¹⁷ I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
