Arise,(A) Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.(B)
    Awake,(C) my God; decree justice.
Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
    while you sit enthroned over them on high.(D)
    Let the Lord judge(E) the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,(F)
    according to my integrity,(G) O Most High.(H)
Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
    and make the righteous secure—(I)
you, the righteous God(J)
    who probes minds and hearts.(K)

10 My shield[a](L) is God Most High,
    who saves the upright in heart.(M)
11 God is a righteous judge,(N)
    a God who displays his wrath(O) every day.
12 If he does not relent,(P)
    he[b] will sharpen his sword;(Q)
    he will bend and string his bow.(R)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
    he makes ready his flaming arrows.(S)
