1 O LORD, my God, I come to you
for protection;
rescue me and save me from all
who pursue me,
2 or else like a lion they will carry
me off
where no one can save me,
and there they will tear me to
pieces
3-4 O LORD my God, if I have
wronged anyone,
if I have betrayed a friend
or without cause done violence
to my enemy -
if I have done any so these
things -
5 then let my enemies pursue me
and catch me,
let them cut me down and
kill me
and leave me lifeless on the
ground!
6 Rise in your anger,O LORD!
Stand up against the fury of my enemies;
rouse yourself and help me!
Justice is what you demand,
7 so bring toghther all the peoples
around you,
and rule over them from
above.
8 You are the judge of all people.
Judge in my faver, O LORD;
you know that I am innocent.
9 You are a righteous God
and judge our thoughts and
desires.
Stop the wickdeness of evildoers
and reward those who are good.
10 God is my protector;
he saves those who obey him.
11 God is a righteous judge
and always condemns the
wicked.
12 If they do not change their ways,
God will sharpen his sword.
He bends his bow and makes it
ready;
13 he takes up his deadly weapons
and aims his burning arrows.
14 See how wicked people think up
evil;
they plan trouble and practice
deception.
15 But in the traps they set for others,
they themselves get caught.
16 So they are punished by their own
evil
and are hurt by their own
violence.
17 I think the LORD for his justice;
I sing praises to the LORD, the Most Hight
for protection;
rescue me and save me from all
who pursue me,
2 or else like a lion they will carry
me off
where no one can save me,
and there they will tear me to
pieces
