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)

⁷ And I also withheld the rain from you
    when there were still three months to the harvest;
I would send rain on one city
    and send no rain on another city;
one field would be rained upon,
    and the field on which it did not rain withered;
⁸ so two or three towns wandered to one town
    to drink water and were not satisfied;
yet you did not return to me,
            says the Lord.^(B)

⁹ I struck you with blight and mildew;
    I laid waste^[a] your gardens and your vineyards;
    the locust devoured your fig trees and your olive trees;
yet you did not return to me,
            says the Lord.^(C)

¹⁰ I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt;
    I killed your young men with the sword;
I carried away your horses;^[b]
    and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
yet you did not return to me,
            says the Lord.^(D)

¹¹ I overthrew some of you
    as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
    and you were like a brand snatched from the fire;
yet you did not return to me,
            says the Lord.^(E)

¹² Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
    because I will do this to you,
    prepare to meet your God, O Israel!^(F)

¹³ For the one who forms the mountains, creates the wind,
    reveals his thoughts to mortals,
makes the morning darkness,
    and treads on the heights of the earth—
    the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!^(G)
