1. O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute 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 LORD 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 is my enemy:)
5. Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
