I Take Refuge in You

¹`The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.+ ²Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.+ ³O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,+ ⁴If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,+ ⁵An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.+ ⁶Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:+ ⁷And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,+ ⁸Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,+ ⁹Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.+ ¹⁰My shield is on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!+ ¹¹God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.+ ¹²If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden--He prepareth it,+ ¹³Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.+ ¹⁴Lo, he travaileth with iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.+ ¹⁵A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.+ ¹⁶Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.+ ¹⁷I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!+
