1
O LORD my God in thee do I put my trust save me from all them that persecute me and deliver me
2
Lest he tear my soul like a lion rending it in pieces while there is none to deliver
3
O LORD 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 is mine enemy
5
Let the enemy persecute my soul and take it yea let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay mine honour in the dust Selah
6
Arise O LORD in thine anger lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded
7
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about for their sakes therefore return thou on high
8
The LORD shall judge the people judge me O LORD according to my righteousness and according to mine integrity that is in me
9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end but establish the just for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins
10
My defence is of God which saveth the upright in heart
11
God judgeth the righteous and God is angry with the wicked every day
12
If he 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 ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors
14
Behold he travaileth with iniquity and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood
15
He 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 violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate
17
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high
