5 if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good ; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
6 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause.
7 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command.
8 And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.
9 The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
10 Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.
14 And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
15 Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
