1Shigaion of Dauid, which he sang vnto the Lord, concerning the wordes of Chush the sonne of Iemini. O lorde my God, in thee I put my trust: saue me from all that persecute me, & deliuer me, 2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver. 3O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded. 7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me. 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 10My defence is in God, who preserueth the vpright in heart. 11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day. 12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13Hee hath also prepared him deadly weapons: hee will ordeine his arrowes for them that persecute me. 14Beholde, hee shall trauaile with wickednes: for he hath conceiued mischiefe, but he shall bring foorth a lye. 15Hee hath made a pitte and digged it, and is fallen into the pit that he made. 16His mischiefe shall returne vpon his owne head, & his crueltie shall fall vpon his owne pate. 17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
