YLT
Young's Literal Translation
A
Shiggaion
of
David, which
he sang
to the
LORD
concerning the words of Cush ,
a Benjamite. O LORD
my God, I
take
refuge
in You;
save me and
deliver
me
from all my pursuers,
`The
Erring
One,'
by
David, that
he sung
to Jehovah
concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah,
my God, in Thee
I
have
trusted,
Save me from all my pursuers, and
deliver
me.
or
they
will
shred
my
soul
like
a lion and tear
me
to
pieces
with
no one
to
rescue
me
.
Lest
he
tear
as
a lion my
soul,
Rending,
and there
is
no deliverer
.
O LORD
my God, if I have done this, if injustice
is on
my hands,
O Jehovah,
my God, if I have done this, If there
is iniquity
in
my hands,
if I have rewarded
my ally
with
evil, if
I
have
plundered
my
foe
without cause,
If I have done
my well-wisher
evil, And
draw
mine
adversary
without cause,
then
may
my
enemy pursue
me
and overtake
me;
may
he
trample
me
to the ground
and leave
my honor
in the dust. Selah
An
enemy pursueth
my
soul,
and overtaketh,
And
treadeth
down
to the earth
my
life,
And my honour
placeth
in the dust. Selah .
Arise
, O LORD
, in Your
anger ;
rise
up against
the fury
of my
enemies.
Awake,
my
God
, and ordain
judgment .
Rise
, O Jehovah
, in Thine
anger ,
Be
lifted
up at
the wrath
of mine
adversaries
, And awake
Thou
for
me:
Judgment Thou
hast
commanded:
Let
the
assembled
peoples gather
around
You;
take
Your
seat
over them
on high .
And
a
company
of
peoples compass
Thee,
And
over it
on high turn
Thou
back,
The
LORD
judges
the peoples; vindicate
me, O LORD
, according to my righteousness and integrity .
Jehovah
doth
judge
the peoples; Judge
me, O Jehovah
, According to my righteousness ,
And according
to
mine
integrity on
me,
Put
an
end
to
the evil of the wicked, but
establish the righteous, O
righteous
God
who
searches
hearts and minds
.
Let,
I
pray
Thee
be
ended
the evil of the wicked, And
establish Thou
the righteous, And
a
trier
of
hearts and reins
is
the
righteous
God
.
My shield is with
God, who
saves
the upright in heart .
My shield `
is '
on
God, Saviour
of
the upright in heart !
God is a righteous judge and a
God
who
feels
indignation
each
day
.
God `
is '
a righteous judge ,
And He
is
not
angry
at
all
times
.
If one does
not repent
, God
will
sharpen
His sword ;
He has
bent
and
strung
His bow .
If `
one '
turn
not, His sword he sharpeneth,
His bow he
hath
trodden
--
He
prepareth
it,
He has
prepared His
deadly
weapons;
He
ordains
His arrows with
fire
.
Yea,
for
him
He hath
prepared Instruments
of
death,
His arrows for
burning
pursuers
He
maketh
.
Behold
, the
wicked
man
travails
with evil;
he conceives
trouble
and births
falsehood.
Lo
, he
travaileth
`
with '
iniquity,
And
he hath
conceived
perverseness,
And hath
brought
forth
falsehood.
He
has
dug
a hole
and hollowed
it out;
he has
fallen
into a pit
of
his
own
making
.
A pit
he
hath
prepared,
and he
diggeth
it ,
And
he falleth
into a ditch
he
maketh
.
His trouble
recoils
on himself
, and his
violence
falls
on his own
head
.
Return
doth
his perverseness
on his
head
, And on his crown
his
violence
cometh
down
.
I will
thank the
LORD
for
His righteousness and sing
praise to
the name of the
LORD
Most High .
I thank Jehovah,
According
to
His righteousness ,
And praise the name of Jehovah
Most High !
