Look attentively; Answer me, O Jehovah, my God, Enlighten mine eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Lest mine enemy say, 'I overcame him,' Mine adversaries joy when I am moved.

Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.

If I have said, 'My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me.

Mine [are] vengeance and recompense, At the due time -- doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And haste do things prepared for them.

They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
