7:1 A Shiggaion of David which he sang to Yahweh on account of Cush, a Benjaminite. O Yahweh, my God, in you I have taken refuge. Save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me.
7:2 Or else he will tear me apart like a lion, ripping to pieces, with none to deliver.
7:3 O Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
7:4 if I have repaid my ally with harm, or if I have plundered my enemy without cause,
7:5 let the enemy of my soul pursue, and overtake and trample my life into the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah
7:6 Rise up, O Yahweh, in your anger, and lift yourself up against the wrath of my oppressors, and awake for me, since you have commanded judgment.
7:7 And let the assembly of peoples surround you, and over it return on high.
7:8 Yahweh judges the nations. O Yahweh, vindicate me according to my innocence and according to my integrity within me.
7:9 Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, and test the hearts and innermost being, O righteous God.
7:10 My shield is with God who saves the upright of heart.
7:11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.
7:12 If he does not repent, he will sharpen his sword. He has bent his bow and he has strung it.
7:13 And he has prepared for him weapons of death. He has made his arrows fiery shafts.
7:14 See, he travails with evil. He is pregnant with trouble, and he gives birth to deception.
7:15 He makes a pit and digs it out, then falls in the trap he has made.
7:16 His trouble comes back on his head, and his violence comes down on his skull.
7:17 I will thank Yahweh according to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of Yahweh, the Most High.
