Shiggaion of David, which he sang to יהוה concerning the words of Kush ben Yemini

יהוה my Elohim, in you I take refuge. Save me from all my pursuers and deliver me

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, ripping with no one to rescue

יהוה my Elohim, if I have done this, if wrong is in my hands

If I have repaid my ally with evil, or spared my foe without cause

Let the enemy pursue my life and overtake, trample my life to the ground, lay my glory in the dust. Selah

Rise up, יהוה, in your anger; lift yourself against the fury of my foes. Awake for me; you have commanded judgment

Let the assembly of peoples surround you, and over it return on high

יהוה judges the peoples. Judge me, יהוה, according to my righteousness and my integrity upon me

Let evil finish for the wicked, and establish the righteous—the righteous Elohim who tests hearts and minds

My shield is upon Elohim, savior of the upright of heart

Elohim is a righteous judge, and El is indignant every day

If he does not repent, he sharpens his sword; he bends his bow and makes it ready

He prepares for himself weapons of death; he makes his arrows burning ones

He conceives trouble and is pregnant with mischief, and births falsehood

He digs a pit and excavates it, and falls into the trap he made

His mischief returns on his head, and his violence descends on his crown

I thank יהוה according to his righteousness, and sing to the name of יהוה Elyon
