Psalms 7

A  aShiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD  bconcerning Cush, a Benjamite.

1

O LORD my God,  ain You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and  bdeliver me,

2

Or he will tear  1my soul  alike a lion,  2Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.

3

O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is  ainjustice in my hands,

4

If I have  arewarded evil to  1my friend, Or have  bplundered  2him who without cause was my adversary,

5

Let the enemy pursue  1my soul and overtake  2it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust.  3Selah.

6

 aArise, O LORD, in Your anger;  bLift up Yourself against  cthe rage of my adversaries, And  darouse Yourself  1for me; You have appointed judgment.

7

Let the assembly of the  apeoples encompass You, And over  1them return on high.

8

The LORD  ajudges the peoples;  1 bVindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.

9

O let  athe evil of the wicked come to an end, but  bestablish the righteous; For the righteous God  ctries the hearts and  1minds.

10

My  ashield is  1with God, Who  bsaves the upright in heart.

11

God is a  arighteous judge, And a God who has  bindignation every day.

12

If  1a man  adoes not repent, He will  bsharpen His sword; He has  cbent His bow and  2made it ready.

13

He has also prepared  1for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His  aarrows fiery shafts.

14

Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he  aconceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.

15

He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has  afallen into the hole which he made.

16

His  amischief will return upon his own head, And his  bviolence will descend upon  1his own pate.

17

I will give thanks to the LORD  aaccording to His righteousness And will  bsing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
