7:1  A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
7:2  lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
7:4  if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,
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, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
7:7  Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return 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  Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts, O 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 feels indignation every day.
7:12  If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow;
7:13  he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
7:14  Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies.
7:15  He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made.
7:16  His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull 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.
