The Lord judges the peoples;
vindicate me, Lord,
according to my righteousness and my integrity.

Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous.
The One who examines the thoughts and emotions
is a righteous God.

If anyone does not repent,
God will sharpen His sword;
He has strung His bow and made it ready.

He has prepared His deadly weapons;
He tips His arrows with fire.

My shield is with God,
who saves the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge
and a God who shows His wrath every day.

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.Yahweh my God, I seek refuge in You;
save me from all my pursuers and rescue me

He dug a pit and hollowed it out
but fell into the hole he had made.

See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,
conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.

I will thank the Lord for His righteousness;
I will sing about the name of Yahweh the Most High.

His trouble comes back on his own head,
and his violence falls on the top of his head.

if I have done harm to one at peace with me
or have plundered my adversary without cause,

Let the assembly of peoples gather around You;
take Your seat on high over it.

or they will tear me like a lion,
ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.

may an enemy pursue and overtake me;
may he trample me to the ground
and leave my honor in the dust.Selah

Rise up, Lord, in Your anger;
lift Yourself up against the fury of my adversaries;
awake for me;
You have ordained a judgment.

Yahweh my God, if I have done this,
if there is injustice on my hands,
