3 O Yahweh my God, if I have done this,
if there is wrong in my hands,
4if I have requited my friend with evil
or plundered my enemy without cause,
5let the enemy pursue me and overtake me,
and let him trample my life to the ground,
and lay my soul in the dust.
6Arise, O Yahweh, in your anger,
lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.
7Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;
and over it take your seat on high.
8Yahweh judges the peoples; judge me, O Yahweh,
according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
9O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous,
you who searches the minds and hearts,
you righteous God.
10My shield is with God,
who saves the upright in heart.
11God is a righteous judge,
and a God who has indignation every day.
12If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;
he has bent and strung his bow;
13he has prepared his deadly weapons,
making his arrows fiery shafts.
14Behold, the wicked man conceives evil,
and is pregnant with mischief, and brings forth lies.
15He makes a pit, digging it out,
and falls into the hole which he has made.
16His mischief returns upon his own head,
and on his own pate his violence descends.
17I will give to Yahweh the thanks due to his righteousness,
and I will sing praise to the name of Yahweh most High.
