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

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

4if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me
or without cause have robbed my foe—

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

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

7Let the assembled peoples gather around you.
Rule over them from on high;

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

9O righteous God,
who searches minds and hearts,
bring to an end the violence of the wicked
and make the righteous secure.

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

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

15He who digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit he has made.

16The trouble he causes recoils on himself;
his violence comes down on his own head.

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