​Tuesday in Holy Week

¹O LORD my God, in you I take refuge;
save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
²or like a lion they will tear me apart;
they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.
³O LORD my God, if I have done this,
if there is wrong in my hands,
⁴if I have repaid my ally with harm
or plundered my foe without cause,
⁵then let the enemy pursue and overtake me,
trample my life to the ground,
and lay my soul in the dust.
Selah

⁶Rise up, O LORD, in your anger;
lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.
⁷Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you,
and over it take your seat on high.
⁸The LORD judges the peoples;
judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness
and according to the integrity that is in me.
⁹O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous,
you who test the minds and hearts,
O righteous God.
¹⁰God is my shield,
who saves the upright in heart.
¹¹God is a righteous judge,
and a God who has indignation every day.
¹²If one does not repent, God will whet his sword;
he has bent and strung his bow;
¹³he has prepared his deadly weapons,
making his arrows fiery shafts.
¹⁴See how they conceive evil,
and are pregnant with mischief,
and bring forth lies.
