2 Like a lion they will tear me to piecesand drag me off with no one to rescue me.
3 O Lord my God,if I have done this—if my hands are stained with injustice,
4 if I have paid back my friend with evilor rescued someone who has no reason to attack me—
5 then let the enemy chase me and catch me.Let him trample my life into the ground.Let him lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Arise in anger, O Lord.Stand up against the fury of my attackers.Wake up, my God.You have already pronounced judgment.
7 Let an assembly of people gather around you.Take your seat high above them.
8 The Lord judges the people of the world.Judge me, O Lord,according to my righteousness,according to my integrity.
