3Lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, While there is none to ransom, nor to save.
4O Lord my God, if I have done this (If there is unrighteousness in my hands);
5If I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; May I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
6Let 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.
7Arise, 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.
