5 Then let me foes me persecute, And take my life; and [let them] thrust, And tread me down on earth, and lay My [name and] honour in the dust.
6 Rise, Lord, in wrath, lift up thy self, Because of [all mine] enemies rage; And for that right which thou commandest Do thou thy [wakened] power engage.
6 Rise, Lord, in wrath, lift up thy self, Because of [all mine] enemies rage; And for that right which thou command'st Do thou thy [wakened] power engage.
7 So shall the peoples lovely crowd [About] with praise encompass thee, For their sakes therefore take thy seat On high to [judge and] succour me.
8 The Lord shall all the people judge, Do thou, O [Righteous] Lord, judge me; According to my righteousness, And [after] mine integrity.
