3 O Lord my God, if I have done what they say,or am guilty of unjust actions,
4 or have wronged my ally,or helped his lawless enemy,
5 may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me;may he trample me to deathand leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah)
6 Stand up angrily, Lord!Rise up with raging fury against my enemies!Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them!
7 The countries are assembled all around you;take once more your rightful place over them!
8 The Lord judges the nations.Vindicate me, Lord, because I am innocent,because I am blameless, O Exalted One!
9 May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end!But make the innocent secure,O righteous God,you who examine inner thoughts and motives!
