Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
(A)Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
(B)Rise up [a]for me to the judgment You have commanded!
So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
The Lord shall judge the peoples;
(C)Judge me, O Lord, (D)according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
(E)For the righteous God tests the hearts and [b]minds.
10 [c]My defense is of God,
Who saves the (F)upright in heart.

11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
