Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.

Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.

Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy salvation.

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul.

Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.

Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.

Let their way become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.

For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided my soul.

Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him; and let the net which he hath hidden catch himself: and let him fall into that snare.

But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted in his salvation.

All my bones shall say: Lord, who is like to thee?

The wicked have risen up against me, unjustly; and they have questioned me about things I knew not.

They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of my soul.

But as for me, when they were troublesome, I was clothed with haircloth.

I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.

I pleased, as if he had been my neighbour and brother.

As one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.

But they rejoiced against me, and came together.

Scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.

They were separated, and repented not.

They tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou my soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.

I will give thanks to thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.

Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.

For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.

And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.

Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.

Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: to my cause, my God, and my Lord.

Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over me.

Let them not say in their hearts: Well done, well done, to our soul.

Let them not say: We have swallowed him up.

Let them blush, and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils.

Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things against me.

Let them rejoice and be glad, who wish my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified.

And my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
