God’s Word
For Everyday Life

LORD, my God, I take refuge in you.

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,

LORD, my God, if I have done this,

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;

Arise, LORD, in your anger.

Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.

The LORD administers judgement to the peoples.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,

My shield is with God,

God is a righteous judge,

If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword;

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.

Behold, he travails with iniquity.

He has dug a hole,

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.

I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness,
