1(Shiggaion of Dawad, which he sang unto تتراجراماتون, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.) O تتراجراماتون my Elokim, 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 تتراجراماتون my Elokim, 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 تتراجراماتون, 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.

8تتراجراماتون ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O تتراجراماتون, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous Elokim trieth the minds and hearts.

10My shield is with Elokim, Who saveth the upright in heart.

11Elokim is a righteous judge, Yea, a Elokim that hath indignation every day.

12If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;

13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.

14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

15He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

16His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

17I will give thanks unto تتراجراماتون according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of تتراجراماتون Most High.
