CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in You have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me, ² lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save. ³ O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands) ⁴ if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies. ⁵ Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause. ⁶ Arise, O Lord, in Your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of my enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which You did command. ⁷ And the congregation of the nations shall compass You: and for this cause do You return on high. ⁸ The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
