A Prayer for Fairness

A shiggaion of David which he sang to the Lord about Cush, from the tribe of Benjamin.

Lord my God, I trust in you for protection.
    Save me and rescue me
    from those who are chasing me.
Otherwise, they will tear me apart like a lion.
    They will rip me to pieces, and no one can save me.
