←Prev   Psalms 7 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


7:1  LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!
7:2  Otherwise, they will rip me to shreds like a lion, tearing me apart with no one to rescue me.
7:3  LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is injustice on my hands,
7:4  if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,
7:5  then, let my enemy pursue me, let him overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground. Interlude Let him put my honor into the dust.
7:6  Get up, LORD, in your anger! Rise up, because of the fury of my enemies; Arouse yourself for me; you have ordained justice.
7:7  Let the assembly of the peoples gather around you, and you will sit high above them.
7:8  For the LORD will judge the peoples. Judge me according to my righteousness, LORD, and according to my integrity, Exalted One.
7:9  Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. For you are the righteous God who discerns the inner thoughts.
7:10  God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright in heart.
7:11  God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry with sinners every day.
7:12  If the ungodly one doesn't repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and prepare it.
7:13  He prepares weapons of death for himself, he makes his arrows into fiery shafts.
7:14  But the wicked one travails with evil, he conceives malice and gives birth to lies.
7:15  He digs a pit, even excavates it; then he fell into the hole that he had made.
7:16  The trouble he planned will return on his own head, and his violence will descend on his skull.
7:17  But as for me, I will praise the LORD for his righteousness, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.
