3 Lord, my God, if I have done this—if my hands have done anything wrong,
4 if I have repaid a friend with evilor oppressed a foe for no reason—
5 then let my enemynot only chase but catch me,trampling my life into the ground,laying my reputation in the dirt. Selah
6 Get up, Lord; get angry!Stand up against the fury of my foes!Wake up, my God;you command that justice be done!
7 Let the assembled peoples surround you.Rule them from on high!
8 The Lord will judge the peoples.Establish justice for me, Lord, according to my righteousnessand according to my integrity.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be over,but set the righteous firmly in placebecause you, the righteous God,are the one who examines hearts and minds.
