7:1  O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,
7:2  Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.
7:3  O Lord my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,
7:4  If I have done evil to my friend, Or have plundered my enemy for no reason,
7:5  Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah
7:6  Arise, Lord, in Your anger; Raise Yourself against the rage of my enemies, And stir Yourself for me; You have ordered judgment.
7:7  Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And return on high over it.
7:8  The Lord judges the peoples; Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
7:9  Please let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God puts hearts and minds to the test.
7:10  My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God is a righteous judge, And a God who shows indignation every day.
7:12  If one does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and taken aim.
7:13  He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.
7:14  Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice, And he conceives harm and gives birth to lies.
7:15  He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.
7:16  His harm will return on his own head, And his violence will descend on the top of his own head.
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.
