A

1 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me,

B

and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

C

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;

B'

(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

A'

5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
