3 Lord my God, if I have done this

and there is guilt on my hands—

4 if I have repaid my ally with evil

or without cause have robbed my foe—

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, Lord, in your anger;

rise up against the rage of my enemies.

Awake, my God; decree justice.

7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,

while you sit enthroned over them on high.

8 Let the Lord judge the peoples.

Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,

according to my integrity, O Most High.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this;

If there be iniquity in my hands;

4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;

(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it;

Yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,

And lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger,

Lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:

And awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:

For their sakes therefore return thou on high.

8 The Lord shall judge the people:

Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,

And according to mine integrity that is in me.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done wrong

or am guilty of injustice,

4 if I have betrayed a friend

or plundered my enemy without cause,

5 then let my enemies capture me.

Let them trample me into the ground

and drag my honor in the dust.

Interlude

6 Arise, O Lord, in anger!

Stand up against the fury of my enemies!

Wake up, my God, and bring justice!

7 Gather the nations before you.

Rule over them from on high.

8 The Lord judges the nations.

Declare me righteous, O Lord,

for I am innocent, O Most High!

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this:

If there is iniquity in my hands,

4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,

Or have plundered my enemy without cause,

5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;

Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,

And lay my honor in the dust.

Selah

6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;

Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;

Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!

7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;

For their sakes, therefore, return on high.

8 The Lord shall judge the peoples;

Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,

And according to my integrity within me.

3 Lord my God, what have I done?

Have my hands done something wrong?

4 Have I done wrong to my friend

or stolen without reason from my enemy?

5 If I have, let my enemy chase me and capture me.

Let him trample me into the dust

and bury me in the ground.

Selah

6 Lord, rise up in your anger;

stand up against my enemies’ anger.

Get up and demand fairness.

7 Gather the nations around you

and rule them from above.

8 Lord, judge the people.

Lord, defend me because I am right,

because I have done no wrong, God Most High.

3 O Jehovah my God, if I have done this;

If there be iniquity in my hands;

4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me

(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);

5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;

Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth,

And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

6 Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;

Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,

And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about;

And over them return thou on high.

8 Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples:

Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

3 Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;) 5 Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take it, and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah. 6 Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment. 7 And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high. 8 Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.

3 O Lord my God, 

if I have done this— 

if my hands are stained with injustice, 

4 if I have paid back my friend with evil 

or rescued someone who has no reason to attack me— 

5 then let the enemy chase me and catch me. 

Let him trample my life into the ground. 

Let him lay my honor in the dust. 

Selah 

6 Arise in anger, O Lord. 

Stand up against the fury of my attackers. 

Wake up, my God.

You have already pronounced judgment. 

7 Let an assembly of people gather around you. 

Take your seat high above them. 

8 The Lord judges the people of the world. 

Judge me, O Lord, 

according to my righteousness, 

according to my integrity. 

3 Yahweh my God, if I have done this,

if there is injustice on my hands,

4 if I have done harm to one at peace with me

or have plundered my adversary without cause,

5 may an enemy pursue and overtake me;

may he trample me to the ground

and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Rise up, Lord, in Your anger;

lift Yourself up against the fury of my adversaries;

awake for me;

You have ordained a judgment.

7 Let the assembly of peoples gather around You;

take Your seat on high over it.

8 The Lord judges the peoples;

vindicate me, Lord,

according to my righteousness and my integrity.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,

if there is wrong in my hands,

4 if I have repaid my ally with harm

or plundered my foe without cause,

5 then let the enemy pursue and overtake me,

trample my life to the ground,

and lay my soul in the dust. Selah

6 Rise up, O Lord, in your anger;

lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;

awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.

7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you,

and over it take your seat on high.

8 The Lord judges the peoples;

judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness

and according to the integrity that is in me.

3 O Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,

if there is wrong in my hands,

4 if I have repaid my ally with harm,

or if I have plundered my enemy without cause,

5 let the enemy of my soul pursue,

and overtake and trample my life into the ground,

and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Rise up, O Yahweh, in your anger,

and lift yourself up against the wrath of my oppressors,

and awake for me,

since you have commanded judgment.

7 And let the assembly of peoples surround you,

and over it return on high.

8 Yahweh judges the nations.

O Yahweh, vindicate me

according to my innocence and according to my integrity within me.

3 Lord my God, suppose I have done something wrong.

Suppose I am guilty.

4 I have done evil to my friend.

Or I have robbed my enemy without any reason.

5 If I have done any of those things, let my enemy chase me and catch me.

Let him walk all over me.

Let him bury me in the dust. Selah

6 Lord, rise up in your anger.

Rise up against the great anger of my enemies.

My God, wake up. Command that the right thing be done.

7 Let all the people of the earth gather around you.

Rule over them from your throne in heaven.

8 Lord, judge all people.

Lord, judge me. But remember that I have done what is right.

Most High God, remember that I am honest.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,

If there is injustice in my hands,

4 If I have rewarded evil to my friend,

Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,

5 Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it;

And let him trample my life down to the ground

And lay my glory in the dust.

Selah.

6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;

Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries,

And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.

7 Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You,

And over them return on high.

8 The Lord judges the peoples;

Vindicate me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
