019:007:001
O LORD my God,
in thee do I put my trust:
save me from all them that persecute me,
and deliver me:

019:007:002
Lest he tear my soul like a lion,
rending it in pieces,
while there is none to deliver.

019:007:003
O LORD my God,
If I have done this;
if there be iniquity in my hands;

019:007:004
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea,
I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

019:007:005
Let the enemy persecute my soul,
and take it;
yea,
let him tread down my life upon the earth,
and lay mine honour in the dust.
Selah.

019:007:006
Arise,
O LORD,
in thine anger,
lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:
and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

019:007:007
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

019:007:008
The LORD shall judge the people:
judge me,
O LORD,
according to my righteousness,
and according to mine integrity that is in me.

019:007:009
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;
but establish the just:
for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

019:007:010
My defence is of God,
which saveth the upright in heart.

019:007:011
God judgeth the righteous,
and God is angry with the wicked every day.

019:007:012
If he turn not,
he will whet his sword;
he hath bent his bow,
and made it ready.

019:007:013
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

019:007:014
Behold,
he travaileth with iniquity,
and hath conceived mischief,
and brought forth falsehood.

019:007:015
He made a pit,
and digged it,
and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

019:007:016
His mischief shall return upon his own head,
and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

019:007:017
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness:
and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
