NET BibleBerean Study Bible
1A musical composition by David, which he sang to the LORD concerning a Benjaminite named Cush. O LORD my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me! 1A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me. 2or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3O LORD my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions, 3O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy, 4if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah) 5then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
6Stand up angrily, LORD! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them! 6Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them! 7Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8The LORD judges the nations. Vindicate me, LORD, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One! 8The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives! 9Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright. 10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. 11God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12If a person does not repent, God sharpens his sword and prepares to shoot his bow. 12If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows. 13He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies--14Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made. 15He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. 16His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17I will thank the LORD for his justice; I will sing praises to the sovereign LORD! 17I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
