7:1  O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
7:2  Lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
7:4  If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)
7:5  Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
7:6  Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
7:7  So shall the congregation of the people surround you: for their sakes therefore return you on high.
7:8  The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.
7:9  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tests the minds and hearts.
7:10  My defense is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
7:12  If he turns not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
7:13  He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death; he makes ready his arrows against the persecutors.
7:14  Behold, he brought forth iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
7:15  He made a pit, and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.
7:16  His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own crown.
7:17  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
