7:1  A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
7:2  Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.
7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,
7:4  If I have rewarded evil to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,
7:5  Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
7:6  Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.
7:7  Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And over them return on high.
7:8  The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
7:9  O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.
7:10  My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day.
7:12  If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.
7:13  He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.
7:14  Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.
7:15  He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.
7:16  His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon his own pate.
7:17  I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
