Christian Standard BibleEnglish Standard Version
1LORD my God, I seek refuge in you; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me1O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
2or they will tear me like a lion, ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.2lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
3LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice on my hands,3O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
4if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,4if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,
5may an enemy pursue and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah5let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
6Rise up, LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my adversaries; awake for me; you have ordained a judgment.6Arise, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
7Let the assembly of peoples gather around you; take your seat on high over it.7Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high.
8The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity.8The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
9Let 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.9Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God!
10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11God is a righteous judge and a God who shows his wrath every day.11God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day.
12If anyone does not repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has strung his bow and made it ready.12If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow;
13He has prepared his deadly weapons; he tips his arrows with fire.13he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
14See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil, conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.14Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies.
15He dug a pit and hollowed it out but fell into the hole he had made.15He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made.
16His trouble comes back on his own head; his own violence comes down on top of his head.16His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends.
17I will thank the LORD for his righteousness; I will sing about the name of the LORD Most High.17I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.
