O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me, A shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite.

2 or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me. lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.

Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue <i>me.</i> or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause, if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) If I have done evil to my friend, Or have plundered my enemy for no reason, if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—
5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah let 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 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take <i>it</i>; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake <i>it;</i> And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

Awake, my God; decree justice.
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high. Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high.

Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.
8 The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

12 If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

If one does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and taken aim. If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
13 He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire. he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.

14 Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood. Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. Behold, <i>an evil person</i> is pregnant with injustice, And he conceives harm and gives birth to lies. Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15 He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making. He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch <i>which</i> he made. He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.
16 His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head. His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. His harm will return on his own head, And his violence will descend on the top of his own head. The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.
17 I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.
