A Shiggaion of David , which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush , vvv a Benjamite. O LORD my God I take refuge in You ; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers ,
| LXX |
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
| LXX |
O LORD my God , if I have done this , if injustice is on my hands ,
| LXX |
if I have rewarded my ally with evil , if I have plundered my foe without cause ,
| LXX |
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me ; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
| LXX |
Arise , O LORD , in Your anger ; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake , my God , and ordain judgment.
| LXX |
Let the assembled peoples gather around You ; take Your seat over them on high.
| LXX |
The LORD Judges - the peoples ; vindicate me , O LORD , according to my righteousness and integrity ....
| LXX |
Put an end to the evil of the wicked , but establish the righteous , O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
| LXX |
My shield is with God , who saves the upright in heart.
| LXX |
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
| LXX |
If one does not repent , God will sharpen His sword ; He has bent and strung His bow.
| LXX |
He has prepared His deadly weapons ; He ordains His arrows with fire.
| LXX |
Behold , (the wicked man) travails with evil ; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
| LXX |
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out ; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
| LXX |
His trouble recoils on himself , and his violence falls on his own head.
| LXX |
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
| LXX |
