Psalms 7 : 1 - 17
Chapter 7
1 | O LORD my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,
|
2 | Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
|
3 | O LORD my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands,
|
4 | If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,
|
5 | Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust.Selah
|
6 | Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!
|
7 | So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
|
8 | The LORD shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
|
9 | Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
|
10 | My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.
|
11 | God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
|
12 | If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.
|
13 | He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
|
14 | Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
|
15 | He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
|
16 | His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.
|
17 | I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
