5
Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6
Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
7
So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8
The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
9
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
10
My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.
11
God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12
If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13
He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
14
Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
15
He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
