and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, * and bring down my glory to the dust.
Rise up, O Lord, in Thy anger: * and be Thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.
And arise, O Lord, my God, for the judgment which Thou hast commanded: * and a congregation of people shall surround Thee.
And for their sakes, return Thou on high: * the Lord judgeth the people.
Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence on me.
The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to naught; and Thou shalt direct the just: * the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
Just is my help from the Lord: * who saveth the upright of heart.
God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is He angry every day?
Unless ye be converted, He will brandish His sword: * He hath bent His bow, and made it ready.
