I Take Refuge in You

¹O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,+ ²Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.+ ³O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;+ ⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);+ ⁵Let 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+ ⁶Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.+ ⁷And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.+ ⁸Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.+ ⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.+ ¹⁰My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.+ ¹¹God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.+ ¹²If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;+ ¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].+ ¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.+ ¹⁵He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.+ ¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.+ ¹⁷I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.+
