1 Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. 2 lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, 3 Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, 4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me 5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; 6 Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. 7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. 8 Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, 10 My shield is with God, 11 God is a righteous judge, 12 If a man doesn’t relent, he will sharpen his sword; 13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. 14 Behold,+“Behold,” from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. he travails with iniquity. 15 He has dug a hole, 16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. 17 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness,
