| 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 [is] on God, Saviour of the upright in heart! |
| 11 | God [is] a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times. |
| 12 | If [one] 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 [with] 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! |
