1. O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
2. Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3. O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;
4. If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)
5. Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust.
6. Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
