1. Lord, my God, I take refuge in you.Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2. lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
3. Lord, my God, if I have done this,if there is iniquity in my hands,
4. if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me(yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
5. let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
