O Eternal my God, if I have done anything wrong to deserve this,
    if there is blood on my hands,
If I have mistreated a friend,
    or if I have stolen from an adversary without just cause,
Then let my enemy come after me and catch me,
    stomping me into the ground, ending my life,
    and grinding my honor into the dirt.

  1. 7:5 Literally, selah, likely a musical direction from a Hebrew root meaning “to lift up”

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)
