✧1Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me, ✧2Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. ✧3O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands; ✧4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary); ✧5Let 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 ✧6Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment. ✧7And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.
