King James Version
`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 .
O LORD
my God, in thee do
I put
my
trust:
save me from all them
that
persecute
me
, and deliver me :
Lest he tear as
a
lion
my soul, Rending, and
there is no
deliverer
.
Lest he tear my soul like
a
lion
, rending it
in
pieces
, while
there is none
to
deliver
.
O Jehovah,
my God, if I have done this ,
If there is
iniquity in my hands ,
O LORD
my God, If I have done this ;
if there be
iniquity in my hands ;
If I have done
my
well-wisher
evil, And
draw
mine
adversary
without cause ,
If I have rewarded
evil unto
him
that
was
at
peace
with
me;
(yea
, I
have
delivered
him
that
without cause is
mine
enemy:)
An
enemy pursueth
my soul, and overtaketh
, And
treadeth
down to
the
earth
my life, And my
honour placeth
in the dust. Selah.
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.
Rise
, O Jehovah
, in Thine anger, Be
lifted
up at
the wrath
of mine adversaries,
And awake Thou
for me :
Judgment Thou hast commanded :
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 .
And
a
company
of peoples
compass Thee ,
And
over
it
on high turn
Thou
back,
So
shall
the
congregation
of the
people
compass thee about:
for
their
sakes
therefore
return
thou
on high .
Jehovah
doth
judge the peoples;
Judge me, O Jehovah
, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on
me ,
The
LORD
shall
judge the people:
judge me, O LORD
, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that
is
in
me .
Let ,
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
.
Oh
let the wickedness
of the wicked come
to
an
end;
but
establish the just:
for
the
righteous God
trieth
the
hearts and reins.
My shield
`
is '
on
God, Saviour
of
the upright in heart !
My defence
is of
God, which
saveth
the upright in heart .
God `is'
a
righteous judge
, And He
is not
angry at
all
times
.
God judgeth
the
righteous, and God
is angry with
the
wicked
every
day
.
If `one'
turn not, His sword he sharpeneth,
His bow he
hath
trodden
--
He
prepareth
it
,
If he
turn not, he
will
whet
his sword ;
he hath
bent
his bow, and
made
it
ready.
Yea,
for
him
He hath prepared Instruments of death ,
His arrows for
burning
pursuers
He
maketh
.
He hath also
prepared for
him
the
instruments of death ;
he
ordaineth
his arrows against
the
persecutors
.
Lo
, he travaileth `
with '
iniquity, And he
hath conceived perverseness
, And hath
brought forth falsehood.
Behold
, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief
, and brought forth falsehood.
A pit he
hath
prepared
, and he
diggeth
it, And he
falleth
into a
ditch he maketh
.
He
made
a pit, and digged
it, and is
fallen
into the
ditch which
he made
.
Return
doth
his perverseness
on
his head, And on
his crown
his
violence
cometh
down.
His mischief
shall
return
upon
his own
head, and his violent
dealing
shall
come
down upon
his
own
pate
.
I thank
Jehovah,
According to His righteousness ,
And praise the name of Jehovah
Most High !
I will
praise
the
LORD
according to his righteousness :
and will
sing
praise to
the name of the
LORD
most high .
