New International Version NIV
1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
1
LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
2
or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;
3
LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands—
4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)
4
if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
5
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
6
Arise, LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.
