7:1  A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush a Benjaminite. O Lord my God, in thee do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
7:2  lest like a lion they rend me, dragging me away, with none to rescue.
7:3  O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
7:4  if I have requited my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,
7:5  let the enemy pursue me and overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust.Selah
7:6  Arise, O Lord, in thy anger, lift thyself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; thou hast appointed a judgment.
7:7  Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about thee; and over it take thy seat on high.
7:8  The Lord judges the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
7:9  O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous, thou who triest the minds and hearts, thou righteous God.
7:10  My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.
7:12  If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow;
7:13  he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
7:14  Behold, the wicked man conceives evil, and is pregnant with mischief, and brings forth lies.
7:15  He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole which he has made.
7:16  His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own pate his violence descends.
7:17  I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
