1LORD my God, I seek refuge in you; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me1A musical composition by David, which he sang to the LORD concerning a Benjaminite named Cush. O LORD my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me!
2or they will tear me like a lion, ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.2Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me.
3LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice on my hands,3O LORD my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,
4if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,4or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy,
5may an enemy pursue and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah5may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored 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.6Stand up angrily, LORD! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them!
7Let the assembly of peoples gather around you; take your seat on high over it.7The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them!
8The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity.8The LORD judges the nations. Vindicate me, LORD, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One!
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.9May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives!
10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.10The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright.
11God is a righteous judge and a God who shows his wrath every day.11God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day.
12If anyone does not repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has strung his bow and made it ready.12If a person does not repent, God sharpens his sword and prepares to shoot his bow.
13He has prepared his deadly weapons; he tips his arrows with fire.13He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows.
14See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil, conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.14See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies--
15He dug a pit and hollowed it out but fell into the hole he had made.15he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made.
16His trouble comes back on his own head; his own violence comes down on top of his head.16He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head.
17I will thank the LORD for his righteousness; I will sing about the name of the LORD Most High.17I will thank the LORD for his justice; I will sing praises to the sovereign LORD!
