6 Arise,n Lord, in your anger;

rise up against the rage of my enemies.o

Awake,p my God; decree justice.

7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,

while you sit enthroned over them on high.q

8 Let the Lord judger the peoples.

Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,s

according to my integrity,t O Most High.u

9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked

and make the righteous secure—v

you, the righteous Godw

who probes minds and hearts.x

10 My shieldd y is God Most High,

who saves the upright in heart.z

11 God is a righteous judge,a

a God who displays his wrathb every day.

12 If he does not relent,c

hee will sharpen his sword;d

he will bend and string his bow.e

13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;

he makes ready his flaming arrows.f

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil

conceives trouble and gives birthg to disillusionment.

15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out

falls into the pith they have made.i

16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;

their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;j

I will sing the praisesk of the name of the Lord Most High.l
