5 then let my enemies pursue me and catch me,let them cut me down and kill meand leave me lifeless on the ground!
6 Rise in your anger, O Lord!Stand up against the fury of my enemies;rouse yourself and help me!Justice is what you demand,
7 so bring together all the peoples round you,and rule over them from above.
8 You are the judge of the whole human race.Judge in my favour, O Lord;you know that I am innocent.
9 You are a righteous Godand judge our thoughts and desires.Stop the wickedness of evildoersand reward those who are good.
10 God is my protector;he saves those who obey him.
11 God is a righteous judgeand always condemns the wicked.
