³ O Lord my God, if I have done this,
    if there is wrong in my hands,^(C)
4 if I have repaid my ally with harm
    or plundered my foe without cause,^(D)
5 then let the enemy pursue and overtake me,
    trample my life to the ground,
    and lay my soul in the dust. Selah

⁶ Rise up, O Lord, in your anger;
    lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
    awake, O my God;^[a] you have appointed a judgment.^(E)
7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you,
    and over it take your seat^[b] on high.^(F)
8 The Lord judges the peoples;
    judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
    and according to the integrity that is in me.^(G)

⁹ O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
    but establish the righteous,
you who test the minds and hearts,
    O righteous God.^(H)
10 God is my shield,
    who saves the upright in heart.^(I)
11 God is a righteous judge
    and a God who has indignation every day.^(J)

¹² If one does not repent, God^[c] will whet his sword;
    he has bent and strung his bow;^(K)
13 he has prepared his deadly weapons,
    making his arrows fiery shafts.^(L)
14 See how they conceive evil
    and are pregnant with mischief
    and bring forth lies.^(M)
15 They make a pit, digging it out,
    and fall into the hole that they have made.^(N)
16 Their mischief returns upon their own heads,
    and on their own heads their violence descends.^(O)

¹⁷ I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness
    and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.^(P)
