1 - `The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
2 - Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.
3 - O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
4 - If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,
5 - An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.
6 - Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:
7 - And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,
8 - Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,
9 - Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 - My shield <FI>is<Fi> on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!
11 - God <FI>is<Fi> a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.
12 - If <FI>one<Fi> turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden--He prepareth it,
13 - Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.
14 - Lo, he travaileth <FI>with<Fi> iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.
15 - A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.
16 - Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.
17 - I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
