1
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush a Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
2
lest like a lion they rend me, dragging me away, with none to rescue.
3
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
4
if I have requited my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,
5
let the enemy pursue me and overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. [Selah]
