| [1] O God my Lord, in thee I haue put my trust: saue me from all them that do persecute me, and deliuer thou me |
[1]Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: |
| [2]Lest he like a Lion seasoneth on my soule: teareth it in peeces, hauyng no rescue |
[2]Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. |
| [3]O God my Lord, if I haue done any such thing: or if there be any wickednesse in my handes |
[3]O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands; |
| [4]If I haue done euyll vnto hym that had peace with me: and [if] I haue [not] deliuered hym that is without a cause myne aduersarie |
[4]If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:) |
| [5][Then] let myne enemie persecute my soule and take me: yea, let hym put me to death, and lay myne honour in the dust. Selah |
[5]Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah. |
| [6]Arise O God in thy wrath, and stand thou vp agaynst the rage of myne enemies: stirre thou for me [according] to the iudgement [whiche] thou hast geuen |
[6]Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. |
| [7]And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee: for their sakes therfore place thy selfe on high |
[7]So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. |
| [8]God wyll iudge the people: geue thou sentence with me O God according to my righteousnesse, and according to my perfection [that is] within me |
[8]The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me. |
| [9]My desire is, that ye wickednesse of the vngodly may come to an ende: and that thou wouldest assist the iust, who art the tryer of heartes and of reynes, O most righteous Lorde |
[9]Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. |
| [10]My buckler is with God: who preserueth them that be vpright in heart |
[10]My defense is from God, who saveth the upright in heart. |
| [11]The Lorde is a righteous iudge: and the Lorde is prouoked to anger euery day |
[11]God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. |
| [12]If the wicked wyll not turne, he wyll whet his sworde: bende his bowe, and haue it in a redinesse [to shoote |
[12]If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. |
| [13]He hath prepared hym instrumentes of death: he hath ordayned his arrowes agaynst them that be persecutors |
[13]He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. |
| [14]Beholde, he wyll be in trauayle of a mischiefe, for he hath conceaued a labour: but yet he shall be brought to bed of a falsehood |
[14]Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. |
| [15]He hath made a graue and digged it: but he hym selfe wyll fall into the pit whiche he hath made |
[15]He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch which he made. |
| [16]For his labour shall come vpon his owne head: and his wickednesse shall fall vpon his owne pate |
[16]His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. |
| [17]I wyll prayse God accordyng to his ryghteousnesse: & I wyll sing psalmes vnto the name of the most high God |
[17]I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. |
