| 1 | Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning Cush a Benjamite. |
| 2 | O LORD my God, in Thee have I taken refuge; Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me; |
| 2a | — |
| 3 | Lest he tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. |
| 4 | O LORD my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands; |
| 5 | If I have requited him that did evil unto me, Or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness; |
| 6 | Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, And tread my life down to the earth; Yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. Selah |
| 7 | Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, Lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; Yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded. |
| 8 | And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, And over them return Thou on high. |
| 9 | O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, Judge me, O LORD, According to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. |
| 10 | Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, And that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; For the righteous God trieth the heart and reins. |
| 11 | My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart. |
| 12 | God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day: |
| 13 | If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready; |
| 14 | He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, Yea, His arrows which He made sharp. |
| 15 | Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood. |
| 16 | He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made. |
| 17 | His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate. |
| 18 | I will give thanks unto the LORD according to His righteousness; And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. |
