3 O Yahweh my Elohim, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my palms,
4 If I have requited evil to one at peace with me-- I, who pulled off valueless spoils from my foe-.

6 Do arise, O Yahweh, in Your anger, Lift up Yourself against the rages of my foes; Do rouse for me the judgment You have determined.
7 So the congregation of the national groups shall surround You; Therefore on its account, do return to the height.
8 Yahweh, He shall adjudicate the peoples; Judge me, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity, O Supreme.
