³ O Lord my God, if I have done this,
If there is injustice in my hands,
⁴ If I have rewarded evil to ^[e]my friend,
Or have plundered ^[f]him who without cause was my adversary,
⁵ Let the enemy pursue ^[g]my soul and overtake ^[h]it;
And let him trample my life down to the ground
And lay my glory in the dust. ^[i]Selah.

⁶ Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries,
And arouse Yourself ^[j]for me; You have appointed judgment.
⁷ Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You,
And over ^[k]them return on high.
⁸ The Lord judges the peoples;
^[l]Vindicate me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
⁹ O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous;
For the righteous God tries the hearts and ^[m]minds.
¹⁰ My shield is ^[n]with God,
Who saves the upright in heart.
¹¹ God is a righteous judge,
And a God who has indignation every day.

¹² If ^[o]a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword;
He has bent His bow and ^[p]made it ready.
¹³ He has also prepared ^[q]for Himself deadly weapons;
He makes His arrows fiery shafts.
¹⁴ Behold, he travails with wickedness,
And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.
¹⁵ He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the hole which he made.
¹⁶ His mischief will return upon his own head,
And his violence will descend upon ^[r]his own pate.

¹⁷ I will give thanks to the Lord according to His righteousness
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
