3-5 Lord, my God, if I have done a wrong thing,
    then let my enemies chase me and catch me.
If I have done a bad thing against a friend,
    let my enemies catch me.
If I have helped a friend's enemy to attack him,
    let my enemies catch me!
If I am guilty of any of these things,
    let my enemies knock me down to the ground.
They should leave me there,
    so that I lie as a dead person in the dirt.
Selah.

Lord my God, if I have done this
    and there is guilt on my hands(A)
if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause(B) have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake(C) me;
    let him trample my life to the ground(D)
    and make me sleep in the dust.[a](E)
