1Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you.
2lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,
3Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,
4if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me
5let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
6Arise, Yahweh, in your anger.
7Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
8Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples.
9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
10My shield is with God,
11God is a righteous judge,
12If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword;
13He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.
14Behold,7:14 “Behold”, from “הִנֵּה”, means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. he travails with iniquity.
15He has dug a hole,
16The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
17I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness,
