Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehova, concerning the
words of Cush a Benjamite.
1 O Jehovah my God,
in thee do I take refuge:
Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
2 Lest they tear my soul
like a lion,
Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Jehovah my God, if I
have done this;
If there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded
evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine
adversary;)
5 Let the enemy pursue
my soul, and overtake it;
Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth,
And lay my glory in the dust.
Selah
6 Arise,
O Jehovah, in thine anger;
Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,
And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
7 And let the
congregation of the peoples compass thee about;
And over them return thou on high.
8 Jehovah ministereth
judgment to the peoples:
Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine
integrity that is in me.
9 O let the wickedness
of the wicked come to an end, but
establish thou the righteous:
For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
10 My shield is with
God,
Who saveth the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous
judge,
Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
12 If a man turn not, he
will whet his sword;
He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared
for him the instruments of death;
He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].
14 Behold, he travaileth
with iniquity;
Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He hath made a pit,
and digged it,
And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall
return upon his own head,
And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will give thanks
unto Jehovah according to his
righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
