Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded are righteous and very faithful.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Deliver me, O LORD, from mine enemies: I flee unto thee to hide me.

{Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.} 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 my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) read more 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. show less

Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee to speak good for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.

Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

But mine enemies are lively, and they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

For, lo, they lie in wait for my soul: the mighty are gathered against me; not for my transgression, nor for my sin, O LORD. They run and prepare themselves without my fault: awake to help me, and behold.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.
