7:1  Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee I have put my trust: save me from all those that persecute me, and deliver me
7:2  Lest they take my soul, as a lion dismembers his prey when there is none to deliver.
7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this: if there is iniquity in my hands,
7:4  if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me, then let my persecutor escape without retribution.
7:5  Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay my honour in the dust. Selah.
7:6  Arise, O LORD, in thine anger; lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake the judgment in my favour that thou hast commanded.
7:7  So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about, for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
7:8  The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
7:9  Let wickedness consume the wicked; but establish the just: for the righteous God is he who tries the hearts and kidneys.
7:10  My shield is in God, he who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God is he who judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
7:12  If he does not turn, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow and made it ready.
7:13  He has also prepared for him the weapons of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
7:14  Behold, he travails with iniquity and has conceived of his own work and brought forth falsehood.
7:15  He made a pit and deepened it and shall fall into the ditch which he made.
7:16  His work shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
7:17  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
