1 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,

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

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

4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

7 Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.

8 The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

9 Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

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

11 God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

12 If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

13 He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.

14 Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

15 He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

16 His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.

17 I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
