³ Lord my God, if I have done this
    and there is guilt on my hands^(g)—
⁴ if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause^(h) have robbed my foe—
⁵ then let my enemy pursue and overtake⁽ⁱ⁾ me;
    let him trample my life to the ground^(j)
    and make me sleep in the dust.^[c](k)

⁶ Arise,^(l) Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.^(m)
    Awake,⁽ⁿ⁾ my God; decree justice.
⁷ Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
    while you sit enthroned over them on high.^(o)
8     Let the Lord judge^(p) the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,^(q)
    according to my integrity,^(r) O Most High.^(s)
9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
    and make the righteous secure—^(t)
you, the righteous God^(u)
    who probes minds and hearts.^(v)

¹⁰ My shield^[d](w) is God Most High,
    who saves the upright in heart.^(x)
11 God is a righteous judge,^(y)
    a God who displays his wrath^(z) every day.
¹² If he does not relent,^(aa)
    he^[e] will sharpen his sword;^(ab)
    he will bend and string his bow.^(ac)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
    he makes ready his flaming arrows.^(ad)

¹⁴ Whoever is pregnant with evil
    conceives trouble and gives birth^(ae) to disillusionment.
¹⁵ Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
    falls into the pit^(af) they have made.^(ag)
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
    their violence comes down on their own heads.

¹⁷ I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;^(ah)
    I will sing the praises^(ai) of the name of the Lord Most High.^(aj)
