(5) If I have recompensed with evil him that held out shalom unto me; or, without cause plundered my opposers,

(6) Then let the enemy persecute my nefesh, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay mine kavod to sleep in the dust. Selah.

if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause(A) have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake(B) me;
    let him trample my life to the ground(C)
    and make me sleep in the dust.[a](D)

Arise,(E) Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.(F)
    Awake,(G) my God; decree justice.
