\d A psalm that David sang to Yahweh because of a Benjamite named Cush.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 Yahweh my God, I come to you to protect me.
|
|
\q2 Rescue me, save me from all those who are pursuing me in order to harm me.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 If you do not do that, they will tear me into pieces
|
|
\q2 like a lion does when it attacks the animals it wants to kill;
|
|
\q2 no one will save me from them.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Yahweh my God, suppose that I have done anything that is wrong,
|
|
\q2
|
|
\v 4 or that I have done evil to some friend,
|
|
\q2 or that, for no good reason, I have harmed my enemies.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Then allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me.
|
|
\q1 Allow them to trample me into the ground
|
|
\q2 and leave me lying dead in the dirt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Yahweh, because you are very angry with those who pursue me,
|
|
\q2 arise and attack the ones attacking me!
|
|
\q1 Do to them what you have said is just!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 The people of all nations gather around you to attack you,
|
|
\q2 but you will rule them from where you are in heaven.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh, judge the people of all nations!
|
|
\q2 Yahweh, show that I have done nothing wrong.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 God, you know what every person is thinking in his inner being
|
|
\q2 and because you are righteous, you always do what is just.
|
|
\q1 So now stop evil people from doing wicked deeds,
|
|
\q2 and defend all of us who are righteous!
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 God, you protect me as a shield protects soldiers;
|
|
\q2 you rescue all those who are righteous in their inner being.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 You judge everyone correctly,
|
|
\q2 and every day you punish wicked people who insult your law.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Whenever your enemies do not repent,
|
|
\q2 it is as though you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow to get ready to kill them.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 You are preparing your weapons to kill those whom you strike;
|
|
\q2 the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Wicked people plot their lies and evil things,
|
|
\q2 they plan and take delight in their thoughts like a pregnant woman who is planning to give birth.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 But when they dig a deep pit to trap others,
|
|
\q2 they themselves will fall into it.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have;
|
|
\q2 they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 I praise Yahweh because he always acts righteously;
|
|
\q2 I sing to praise Yahweh, the one who is much greater than any other god.
