7:1  O Lord my God, in Thee 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 on 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 mine enemy),
7:5  let the enemy persecute my soul and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honor in the dust. Selah
7:6  Arise, O Lord, in Thine anger; lift up Thyself against the rage of mine enemies, and awaken for me the judgment 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 mine integrity that is in me.
7:9  O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
7:10  My defense is of God, who saveth the upright in heart.
7:11  God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
7:12  If he turn not, He will whet His sword; He hath bent His bow and made it ready.
7:13  He hath also prepared for Him the instruments of death; He ordaineth His arrows against the persecutors.
7:14  Behold, the wicked travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.
7:15  He made a pit and dug it, and has fallen into the ditch which he hath made.
7:16  His mischief shall return upon his own head; and his violent dealings 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.
