2. Otherwise, they will rip me apart,dragging me off with no chance of rescue.
3. Lord, my God, if I have done this—if my hands have done anything wrong,
4. if I have repaid a friend with evilor oppressed a foe for no reason—
5. then let my enemynot only chase but catch me,trampling my life into the ground,laying my reputation in the dirt. Selah
6. Get up, Lord; get angry!Stand up against the fury of my foes!Wake up, my God;you command that justice be done!
7. Let the assembled peoples surround you.Rule them from on high!
