Their swords will pierce their own hearts, and their bows will be broken.

For your arrows pierce me, and your hand presses me down.

For I am about to stumble, and I am in constant pain.

Please be willing, O Lord, to rescue me! O Lord, hurry and help me!

We have not been unfaithful, nor have we disobeyed your commands.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

The heavens declare his fairness, for God is judge. (Selah)

You plot against your brother; you slander your own brother.

Hide your face from my sins! Wipe away all my guilt!

Awake, my soul! Awake, O stringed instrument and harp! I will wake up at dawn!

But you, O Lord, laugh in disgust at them; you taunt all the nations.

Indeed, you are my shelter, a strong tower that protects me from the enemy.

For the music director; a song, a psalm. Shout out praise to God, all the earth!

You led us into a trap; you caused us to suffer.

The earth yields its crops. May God, our God, bless us!

For I suffer humiliation for your sake and am thoroughly disgraced.

Hold them accountable for all their sins! Do not vindicate them!

Then he will judge your people fairly, and your oppressed ones equitably.

Before him the coastlands will bow down, and his enemies will lick the dust.

They speak as if they rule in heaven, and lay claim to the earth.
