←Prev   Psalms 7 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


7:1  A passionate song of David, which he sang to Adonai concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
7:2  Adonai my God, in You I have taken refuge. Save me from each of my persecutors, and deliver me.
7:3  Otherwise he will rip me apart like a lion, with no one to rescue me.
7:4  Adonai my God, if I have done this— if there is guilt on my hands,
7:5  if I have paid back evil to anyone at peace with me, or unjustly attacked my adversary,
7:6  then let the enemy chase me, overtake me, and trample me into the ground, leaving my honor in the dirt! Selah
7:7  Arise, Adonai, in Your anger, arise against the fury of my enemies! Awake for me! You decreed justice.
7:8  Let an assembly of peoples gather around You and return on high, above them.
7:9  Adonai judges the peoples. Vindicate me, Adonai, according to my righteousness and integrity in me.
7:10  Please, end the evil of the wicked and sustain the righteous. A just God examines hearts and minds.
7:11  My shield is God— Savior of the upright in heart.
7:12  God is a righteous judge, a God who is indignant every day.
7:13  If He does not relent, He will sharpen His sword. He has bent His bow and made it ready.
7:14  He prepares His own deadly weapons. He makes His fiery arrows.
7:15  Look! The one pregnant with trouble conceives mischief and brings forth deceit.
7:16  He digs a pit, scrapes it out, and then falls into the hole he has made.
7:17  His mischief will turn on his own head. His violence will boomerang on his crown.
7:18  I will praise Adonai for His justice. I sing praise to the Name of Adonai Elyon!
