A shiggayon of David, which he sang to Adonai concerning the words of Chush the Ben-Jemini
1 Lord my God in You I have put my trust; Save me and rescue me from those who pursue me,
2 Lest they tear my soul like a lion, break me apart, while there is none to deliver.
3 Adonai my EL, if I have done this: If there will be guilt in my hands,
4 If I have repaid evil to him those at peace with me, or, sent away my enemies in vain
5 then let the enemy pursue and overtake my soul; and tramples my life down into the ground; yes, let him lay my glory in the dust. My glory in the dust.
6 Arise, O והוה, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up against the rage of my enemies;
Wake up for me; for You commanded justice. Your judgment Lord wake up.
7 May the assembly of the peoples surround you; and over it return You from on high
8 For והוה shall judge the people; Judge me, Lord, according to my righteousness, to my integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; and establish, yes establish the righteous;
You, Elohim Zadik, test hearts and minds. Examine the inmost thoughts.
10 My shield is Adonai Elohai, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Elohim is righteous, a righteous judge, whose anger is there every day
12 If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung his bow
13 He prepares devices of death for Himself; He ordained His flaming arrows
14 Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil; he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies.
15 He makes a pit, and digs it deep, and falls into the hole he made.
16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, And onto his own skull his Chamas shall descend
17 According to His righteousness I will praise HaShem, and sing praise to the name of והוה El’yon.
Adonai to You I’ll sing praises, You’re righteous, O Lord, and just
Repeat
17 According to His righteousness I will praise HaShem, and sing praise to the name of והוה El’yon.
Adonai to You I’ll sing praises, You’re righteous, O Lord, and just
והוה, You’re righteous and just
