7:1  A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,
7:2  Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while 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 repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,
7:5  Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
7:6  Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
7:7  So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
7:8  The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
7:9  Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
7:10  My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
7:12  If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.
7:13  He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
7:14  Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
7:15  He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
7:16  His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on 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.
