I Take Refuge in You

¹O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,+ ²or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.+ ³O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,+ ⁴if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,+ ⁵then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah+ ⁶Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.+ ⁷Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.+ ⁸The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.+ ⁹Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.+ ¹⁰My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.+ ¹¹God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.+ ¹²If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.+ ¹³He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.+ ¹⁴Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.+ ¹⁵He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.+ ¹⁶His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.+ ¹⁷I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.+
