2  I will ^dponder the way ^ethat is blameless.

Oh when will you ^fcome to me?

I will ^gwalk with ^hintegrity of heart

within my house;

3  I will not set before my eyes

anything ⁱthat is worthless.

I hate the work of those who ^jfall away;

it shall not cling to me.

1  O Lord, ^wrebuke me not in your anger,

nor ^xdiscipline me in your wrath.

2  Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am languishing;

^yheal me, O Lord, ^zfor my bones are troubled.

3  My ^asoul also is greatly troubled.

But you, O Lord—^bhow long?

4  Turn, O Lord, deliver my life;

save me for the sake of your steadfast love.

5  For in ^cdeath there is no remembrance of you;

in Sheol who will give you praise?

6  I am ^dweary with my ^emoaning;

every night I flood my bed with tears;

I drench my couch with my weeping.

7  My ^feye wastes away because of grief;

it grows weak because of all my foes.

8  ^gDepart from me, all you ^hworkers of evil,

for the Lord ⁱhas heard the sound of my weeping.

9  The Lord has heard my ^jplea;

the Lord accepts my prayer.

10  All my enemies shall be ashamed and greatly troubled;

they shall ^kturn back and be put to shame in a moment.

1  O Lord my God, in you do I ^mtake refuge;

ⁿsave me from all my pursuers and deliver me,

2  lest like ^oa lion they tear my soul apart,

rending it in pieces, with ^pnone to deliver.

3  O Lord my God, ^qif I have done this,

if there is ^rwrong in my hands,

4  if I have repaid ^smy friend³ with evil

or ^tplundered my enemy without cause,

5  let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,

and let him ^utrample my life to the ground

and lay my glory in the dust. Selah

6  ^vArise, O Lord, in your anger;

^wlift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;

^xawake for me; you have appointed a judgment.

7  Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;

over it return on high.

8  The Lord ^yjudges the peoples;

^zjudge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness

and according to the integrity that is in me.

9  Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,

and may you establish the righteous—

you who ^atest ^bthe minds and hearts,⁴

O righteous God!

10  My shield is ^cwith God,

who saves ^dthe upright in heart.

11  God is ^ea righteous judge,

and a God who feels ^findignation every day.

12  If a man⁵ does not repent, God⁶ will ^gwhet his sword;

he has ^hbent and ⁱreadied his bow;

13  he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,

making his ^jarrows ^kfiery shafts.

14  Behold, the wicked man ^lconceives evil

and is ^lpregnant with mischief

and gives birth to lies.

15  He makes ^ma pit, digging it out,

and falls into the hole that he has made.

16  His ⁿmischief returns upon his own head,

and on his own skull his violence descends.

17  I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,

and I will ^osing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
