5 If I have, let my enemy chase me and capture me.Let him trample me into the dustand bury me in the ground.Selah
6 Lord, rise up in your anger;stand up against my enemies’ anger.Get up and demand fairness.
7 Gather the nations around youand rule them from above.
8 Lord, judge the people.Lord, defend me because I am right,because I have done no wrong, God Most High.
9 God, you do what is right.You know our thoughts and feelings.Stop those wicked actions done by evil people,and help those who do what is right.
10 God protects me like a shield;he saves those whose hearts are right.
11 God judges by what is right,and God is always ready to punish the wicked.
