←Prev   Psalms 7 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


7:1  A Shiggaion 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 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 is iniquity in the palms of my hands,
7:4  if I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, or have delivered my adversary without cause,
7:5  then may the enemy pursue my life and overtake me; may my enemy trample my life to the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah
7:6  Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; rise up because of the rage of my adversaries, and awaken Yourself for me; You have commanded justice.
7:7  The congregation of the peoples surround You; return above it to heaven’s heights.
7:8  The Lord will judge the peoples; grant me justice, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity within me.
7:9  May the evil of the wicked come to an end; may You vindicate the righteous one; You are a righteous God who examines the minds and hearts.
7:10  My defense depends on God, who saves the upright in heart.
7:11  God is a righteous judge, and God has indignation every day.
7:12  If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.
7:13  He has prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows flaming shafts.
7:14  The wicked man writhes in pain of iniquity; he has conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.
7:15  He who digs a hole and hollows it will then fall into his own pit.
7:16  His mischief will return on his own head; his violence will descend on the crown of his own head.
7:17  I will thank the Lord according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
