Verse KJV King James Version BSB Berean Standard Bible
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 the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
Lest he tear my soul like a lion , rending it in pieces , while there is none to deliver .
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me .
O LORD my God, If I have done this ; if there be iniquity in my hands ;
O LORD my God, if I have done this , if injustice is on my hands ,
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 rewarded my ally with evil , if I have plundered my foe without cause ,
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it ; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah .
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me ; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
Arise, O LORD, in thine anger , lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies : and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded .
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger ; rise up against the fury of my enemies . Awake , my God, and ordain judgment.
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness , and according to mine integrity that is in me .
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins .
Put an end to the evil of the wicked , but establish the righteous , O righteous God who searches hearts and minds .
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
God judgeth the righteous , and God is angry with the wicked every day.
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow , and made it ready .
If one does not repent , God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death ; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors .
He has prepared His deadly weapons ; He ordains His arrows with fire .
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
He made a pit, and digged it , and is fallen into the ditch which he made .
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making .
His mischief shall return upon his own head , and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate .
His trouble recoils on himself , and his violence falls on his own head .
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness : and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
