I Take Refuge in You

¹Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. Jehovah myGod, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;+ ²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.+ ³Jehovah myGod, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands;+ ⁴If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)+ ⁵Let 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.+ ⁶Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment.+ ⁷And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high.+ ⁸Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.+ ⁹Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteousGod.+ ¹⁰My shield is withGod, who saveth the upright in heart.+ ¹¹God is a righteous judge, and aGod who is indignant all the day.+ ¹²If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,+ ¹³And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.+ ¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:+ ¹⁵He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.+ ¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.+ ¹⁷I will praise Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing forth the name of Jehovah the Most High.+
