5. Let the enemy pursue me and overtake my being, And trample my life to the ground, And lay my esteem in the dust. Selah.
6. Arise, O יהוה, in Your displeasure; Lift Yourself up against the rage of my adversaries, And awake for me! You shall command judgment!
7. And let the congregation of the peoples gather about You; And over them return on high.
8. יהוה judges the peoples; Judge me, O יהוה, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
9. Please let the evil of the wrong be ended, And establish the righteous; For the righteous Elohim is a trier of hearts and kidneys.
10. My shield is upon Elohim, Who saves the upright in heart.
11. Elohim is a righteous judge. And Ěl is enraged every day,
12. If one does not repent! He sharpens His sword, He bends His bow and makes it ready,
13. And He has prepared for Himself instruments of death, He makes His arrows hot for pursuers.
14. See, he who is bound with wickedness, And has conceived trouble and brought forth falsehood,
15. He has made a pit and dug it out, And falls into the ditch he made!
16. His trouble turns back upon his own head, And his wrongdoing comes down on the top of his head.
17. I give thanks to יהוה according to His righteousness, And praise the Name of יהוה Most High.
