All your commandments are sure; they persecute me with falsehood; help me!
Help me, O Lord my God! Save me according to your steadfast love!
But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
Let not those rejoice over me who are wrongfully my foes, and let not those wink the eye who hate me without cause.
So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
But you are near, O Lord, and all your commandments are true.
You have appointed your testimonies in righteousness and in all faithfulness.
Therefore I consider all your precepts to be right; I hate every false way.
Let the insolent be put to shame, because they have wronged me with falsehood; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
For without cause they hid their net for me; without cause they dug a pit for my life.
Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.
the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit for my life. Remember how I stood before you to speak good for them, to turn away your wrath from them.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord! I have fled to you for refuge.
Look to the right and see: there is none who takes notice of me; no refuge remains to me; no one cares for my soul. I cry to you, O Lord; I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.” Attend to my cry, for I am brought very low! Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me!
For behold, they lie in wait for my life; fierce men stir up strife against me. For no transgression or sin of mine, O Lord, for no fault of mine, they run and make ready. Awake, come to meet me, and see!
But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty, and many are those who hate me wrongfully.
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
