Psalms 7

1

Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: words: or, business

2

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. none...: Heb. not a deliverer

3

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

4

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

5

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it ; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

6

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

8

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

9

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

10

My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. My...: Heb. My buckler is upon God

11

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. judgeth...: or, is a righteous judge

12

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

13

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

14

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

15

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. He made a pit: Heb. He hath digged a pit

16

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

17

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
