Psalm 7:4-6
Contemporary English Version

4 I have not betrayed a friend
    or had pity on an enemy[a]
    who attacks for no reason.
5 If I have done any of this,
then let my enemies
    chase and capture me.
Let them trample me to death
    and leave me in the dirt.

6 Get angry, Lord God!
    Do something!
Attack my furious enemies.
    See that justice is done.
