New International Version

International Standard Version

1A shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,

1LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!

2or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

2Otherwise, they will rip me to shreds like a lion, tearing me apart with no one to rescue me.

3LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands--

3LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is injustice on my hands,

4if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe--

4if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,

5then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.

5then, let my enemy pursue me, let him overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground. Interlude Let him put my honor into the dust.

6Arise, LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.

6Get up, LORD, in your anger! Rise up, because of the fury of my enemies; Arouse yourself for me; you have ordained justice.

7Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.

7Let the assembly of the peoples gather around you, and you will sit high above them.

8Let the LORD judge the peoples. Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High.

8For the LORD will judge the peoples. Judge me according to my righteousness, LORD, and according to my integrity, Exalted One.

9Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure-- you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.

9Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. For you are the righteous God who discerns the inner thoughts.

10My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.

10God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright in heart.

11God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.

11God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry with sinners every day.

12If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.

12If the ungodly one doesn't repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and prepare it.

13He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.

13He prepares weapons of death for himself, he makes his arrows into fiery shafts.

14Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.

14But the wicked one travails with evil, he conceives malice and gives birth to lies.

15Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.

15He digs a pit, even excavates it; then he fell into the hole that he had made.

16The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.

16The trouble he planned will return on his own head, and his violence will descend on his skull.

17I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.

17But as for me, I will praise the LORD for his righteousness, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.
