Jehovah, my God,
on Thy help I depend;
From all that pursue me
O save and defend;
Lest they like a lion
should rend me at will:
While no one is near me
their raging to still.
When wronged without cause
I have kindness returned;
But if I my neighbor
maltreated and spurned,
My soul let the enemy
seize for his prey,
My life and mine honor
in dust let him lay.
O Lord, in Thy wrath
stay the rage of my foes;
Awake, and Thy judgment
ordained interpose.
Let peoples surround Thee
and wait at Thy feet,
While o’er them for judgment
Thou takest Thy seat.
All nations of men
shall be judged by the Lord;
To me, O Jehovah,
just judgment accord,
As faithful and righteous
in life I have been,
And ever integrity cherished within.
Establish the righteous, let evil depart,
For God, Who is just,
tries the thoughts of the heart.
In God for defense
I have placed all my trust;
The upright He saves
and He judges the just.
The Lord with the wicked
is wroth every day,
And if they repent not is ready to slay;
By manifold ruin for others prepared
They surely at last
shall themselves be ensnared.
Because He is righteous
His praise will I sing,
Thanksgiving and honor
to Him will I bring,
Will sing to the Lord
on Whose grace I rely,
Extolling the Name
of Jehovah Most High.
