1. O Lord my God, in thee I have put my trust: save me from all those that persecute me, and deliver me
2. Lest they take my soul, as a lion dismembers his prey when there is none to deliver.
3. O Lord my God, if I have done this: if there is iniquity in my hands,
4. if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me, then let my persecutor escape without retribution.
5. Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay my honour in the dust. Selah.
6. Arise, O Lord, in thine anger; lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake the judgment in my favour that thou hast commanded.
7. So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about, for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
