O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; save me from all those who persecute me; and deliver me, 2 Lest they tear me like a lion, rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this: if there is iniquity in my hands, 4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace ….
