Panalangin Upang Magtamo ng Katarungan
Shigaion[a] ni David na kanyang inawit kay Yahweh; patungkol kay Cus, na isang Benjaminita.
7 O Yahweh, aking Diyos, sa iyo ako lumalapit,
iligtas mo ako sa mga taong sa aki'y tumutugis,
2 kundi, sila'y parang leon na lalapa sa akin
kung walang magliligtas, ako nga ay papatayin.
3 O Yahweh, aking Diyos, kung ako ma'y nagkasala,
at kung aking mga kamay ay puminsala sa iba,
4 kung ako ay naging taksil sa tapat kong kaibigan,
kung ako po'y naminsala o nang-api ng kaaway,
5 payag akong hulihin, patayin kung kailangan,
iwan akong walang buhay at sa lupa'y mahandusay. (Selah)[b]
6 O Yahweh, bumangon ka, puksain mo ang kaaway,
ako'y iyong ipagtanggol sa malupit nilang kamay!
Gumising ka't sagipin mo, ako ngayon ay tulungan,
dahil ang hangad mo'y maghari ang katarungan.
7 Tipunin mo sa iyong piling ang lahat ng mga bansa,
at mula sa trono sa kaitaasan, ikaw, Yahweh, ang mamahala.
8 Sa lahat ng mga bayan, ikaw ang hukom na dakila,
humatol ka sa panig ko sapagkat ako'y taong tapat.
9 Ikaw(A) ay isang Diyos na matuwid,
batid mo ang aming damdamin at pag-iisip;
sugpuin mo ang gawain ng masasama,
at ang mabubuti'y bigyan mo ng gantimpala.
10 Ang Diyos ang aking sanggalang;
inililigtas niya ang may pusong makatarungan.
11 Ang Diyos ay isang hukom na makatarungan,
at nagpaparusa sa masama sa bawat araw.
12 Kung di sila magbabago sa masasama nilang gawa,
ang tabak ng Diyos ay kanyang ihahasa;
pati ang kanyang pana ay kanyang ihahanda.
13 Mga pamatay na sandata ay kanyang itatakda,
kanya ring iuumang ang mga palasong nagbabaga.
14 Pagmasdan mo ang masama, sa baluktot niyang isip,
ipinaglilihi niya ang kalokohan at ipinanganganak niya ang kasamaan.
15 Humuhukay ng patibong para sa ibang tao,
subalit siya rin mismo ang nahuhulog dito.
16 Siya rin ang may gawa sa parusang tinatanggap,
sa sariling karahasan, siya ngayo'y naghihirap.
17 Pasasalamatan ko si Yahweh sa kanyang katarungan,
aawitan ko ng papuri ang Kataas-taasan niyang ngalan.

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
A Shiggaion[a] of David which he sang to Yahweh
on account of Cush, a Benjaminite.[b]
7 O Yahweh, my God, in you I have taken refuge.
Save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me.
2 Or else he will tear me apart like a lion,
ripping to pieces, with none to deliver.
3 O Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,
if there is wrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid my ally[c] with harm,
or if I have plundered my enemy without cause,
5 let the enemy of my soul pursue,
and overtake and trample my life into the ground,
and lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Rise up, O Yahweh, in your anger,
and lift yourself up against the wrath[d] of my oppressors,
and awake for me,
since you have commanded judgment.
7 And let the assembly of peoples surround you,
and over it return on high.
8 Yahweh judges the nations.
O Yahweh, vindicate me
according to my innocence[e] and according to my integrity within me.
9 Let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous,
and test the hearts and innermost being, O righteous God.
10 My shield is with God
who saves the upright of heart.
11 God is a righteous judge,
and a God who has indignation every day.
12 If he[f] does not repent, he[g] will sharpen his sword.
He has bent his bow and he has strung[h] it.
13 And he has prepared for him weapons of death.
He has made his arrows fiery shafts.
14 See, he[i] travails with[j] evil.
He is pregnant with trouble,
and he gives birth to deception.
15 He makes a pit and digs it out,
then falls in the trap he has made.
16 His trouble comes back on his head,
and his violence comes down on his skull.
17 I will thank Yahweh according to his righteousness,
and I will sing praise to the name of Yahweh, the Most High.

A Prayer for Fairness
A shiggaion [C a musical or literary term of uncertain meaning] of David which he sang to the Lord about Cush, from the tribe of Benjamin [C an unknown person, but the tribe of Benjamin, Saul’s tribe, resisted David’s kingship at first; 2 Sam. 3–4].
7 Lord my God, I ·trust in you for protection [find refuge in you].
·Save [Rescue; T Deliver] me and rescue me
from those who are ·chasing [pursuing] me.
2 Otherwise, like a lion they will tear me apart.
They will ·rip me to pieces [or drag me away], and no one can ·save [rescue; T deliver] me.
3 Lord my God, what have I done?
Have my hands done something ·wrong [to make me guilty]?
4 Have I done wrong to ·my friend [L the one at peace with me]
or stolen without reason from my enemy?
5 If I have, let my enemy ·chase [pursue] me and ·capture [overtake] me.
Let him trample ·me [L my life] into the ·dust [earth]
and ·bury me [L lay my honor] in the ground. ·
6 Lord, rise up in your anger;
·stand up [L lift yourself up] against my enemies’ ·anger [fury].
·Get up [Wake up], ·my God [or for me], and ·demand fairness [insist on/L command judgment].
7 Gather the ·nations [L assembly/congregations of the peoples] around you
and ·rule [or take a seat over; L return] them from ·above [on high].
8 Lord, judge the people.
Lord, ·defend [judge] me ·because I am right [according to my righteousness],
·because I have done no wrong [according to my innocence].
9 God, you ·do what is right [are righteous].
You ·know [L test] our ·thoughts [L hearts/minds] and ·feelings [L kidneys; C the seat of emotions in Hebrew thought].
Stop those wicked actions done by evil people,
and ·help [establish] those who ·do what is right [are righteous].
10 God ·protects me like a [is my] shield;
he saves those whose hearts ·are right [have integrity].
11 God ·judges by what is right [is a righteous judge],
and God is ·always ready to punish the wicked [L angry every day].
12 If they do not ·change their lives [repent],
God will sharpen his sword;
he will string his bow and take aim.
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he has made his flaming arrows.
14 There are people who ·think up [L conceive] evil
and ·plan [L are pregnant with] ·trouble [malice] and ·tell [L give birth to] lies.
15 They dig a ·hole [pit] ·to trap others [L and dig it deep],
but they will fall into it themselves.
16 ·They will get themselves into trouble [L Their trouble/malice will return to their head];
the violence they cause will ·hurt only themselves [L come down on their heads; Prov. 26:27; Matt. 26:52].
17 I praise the Lord ·because he does what is right [according to his righteousness].
I sing praises to the Lord Most High.
