1 O LORD my God, I take refuge in you;
O save me from all those who have pursued.
2 Lest they should tear me like lions with prey;
with none to rescue, they’d drag me away.
3 O LORD my God, if wrong is in my hands,
4 if I did evil to my foes or friends,
5 let my pursuer seize and crush my life,
that in the dust my glory may abide.
6 Arise, O LORD, against all who oppose;
rise up against the rage of all my foes.
Awake, my God, let justice now abound
7 for all assembled nations gathered round.
Rule over all the nations from on high;
8 Your justice to the peoples, LORD, apply.
According to my righteousness judge me;
look, O Most High, on my integrity.
