ISV(i)
1 A Davidic psalm, which he sang to the LORD, because of the words of Cush the descendant of Benjamin.
A Prayer for Vindication LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!
2 Otherwise, they will rip me to shreds like a lion, tearing me apart with no one to rescue me.
3 LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is injustice on my hands,
4 if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,
5 then, let my enemy pursue me, let him overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground. Interlude Let him put my honor into the dust.
