A meditation by David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.
LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Psa 31:151Pe 4:19Hab 3:1Jer 20:11Psa 18:2Psa 35:1-32Sa 16:1-23Jer 15:15
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, Psa 50:222Ti 4:17Isa 38:131Pe 5:8Deu 33:20Psa 35:152Sa 14:6Hos 13:7-8
ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
LORD, my God, if I have done this, 1Sa 24:111Sa 26:18-19Psa 59:32Sa 16:7-8Job 11:14Jos 22:221Sa 20:81Sa 22:13
if there is iniquity in my hands,
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me 1Sa 24:17-19Psa 55:20Jer 18:20-21Psa 109:51Sa 19:4-51Sa 20:11Sa 22:141Sa 24:10-15
(yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Mal 4:3Jer 17:13Psa 3:2Psa 44:5Psa 49:12Hab 3:13Isa 10:6Isa 63:3
yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,
and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
Arise, LORD, in your anger. Psa 35:23Psa 44:23Isa 33:10Psa 3:7Isa 37:20Isa 51:9Psa 103:6Psa 138:7
Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.
Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rev 16:5-7Rev 18:20Rev 19:2Isa 57:15Psa 113:5-6Psa 138:6Psa 48:11Psa 58:10-11
Rule over them on high.
The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Psa 96:13Rom 14:10-122Co 1:12Psa 43:11Th 2:10Psa 98:91Co 4:4-5Psa 26:1
Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness,
and to my integrity that is in me.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, Jer 11:20Jer 17:10Jer 20:121Ch 28:91Sa 16:7Psa 10:15Psa 11:5Psa 139:1
but establish the righteous;
their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.
My shield is with God, Gen 15:1Pro 28:18Psa 125:4Psa 84:11Job 8:6Pro 11:20Pro 2:21Psa 112:2
who saves the upright in heart.
God is a righteous judge, Nam 1:2Nam 1:6Psa 7:8Psa 94:15Psa 140:12-13Psa 50:6
yes, a God who has indignation every day.
If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; Act 3:19Mat 3:10Isa 55:6-7Deu 32:41Ezk 18:30Psa 85:4Ezk 21:23Ezk 21:9-11
he has bent and strung his bow.
He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. 2Th 1:6Hab 3:13Hab 3:11Psa 18:14Psa 45:5Psa 64:7Rev 16:6Rev 6:10
He makes ready his flaming arrows.
Behold, 1 he travails with iniquity. Jas 1:15Job 15:35Isa 33:11Isa 59:4-5Job 15:20
Yes, he has conceived mischief,
and brought out falsehood.
He has dug a hole, Job 4:8Psa 141:10Pro 26:27Ecc 10:8-9Psa 35:7-8Psa 10:2Psa 57:6Psa 9:15-16
and has fallen into the pit which he made.
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. Est 9:25Psa 37:12-131Ki 2:321Sa 24:12-131Sa 26:101Sa 28:191Sa 31:3-4Psa 36:12
His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, Psa 9:2Psa 71:15-16Psa 98:2Psa 111:3Act 7:48Dan 4:34Psa 35:28Psa 51:14
and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
