A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you.
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
 [2] lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,
ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
 [3] Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,
if there is iniquity in my hands,
 [4] if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me
(yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
 [5] let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,
and lay my glory in the dust.
Selah. [6] Arise, Yahweh, in your anger.
Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.
Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
 [7] Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
Rule over them on high.
 [8] Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples.
Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness,
and to my integrity that is in me.
 [9] Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous;
their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
 [10] My shield is with God,
who saves the upright in heart.
 [11] God is a righteous judge,
yes, a God who has indignation every day.
 [12] If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword;
he has bent and strung his bow.
 [13] He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.
He makes ready his flaming arrows.
 [14] Behold,§ he travails with iniquity.
Yes, he has conceived mischief,
and brought out falsehood.
 [15] He has dug a hole,
and has fallen into the pit which he made.
 [16] The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
 [17] I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness,
and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
