psalms 7

1 - The LORD, my God, I take refuge in you.Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

2 - lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

3 - The LORD, my God, if I have done this,if there is iniquity in my hands,

4 - if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me(yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),

5 - let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,and lay my glory in the dust.Selah.

6 - Arise, The LORD, in your anger.Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

7 - Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.Rule over them on high.

8 - The LORD administers judgment to the peoples.Judge me, The LORD, according to my righteousness,and to my integrity that is in me.

9 - Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,but establish the righteous;their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

10 - My shield is with God,who saves the upright in heart.

11 - God is a righteous judge,yes, a God who has indignation every day.

12 - If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword;he has bent and strung his bow.

13 - He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.He makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 - Behold , he travails with iniquity.Yes, he has conceived mischief,and brought out falsehood.

15 - He has dug a hole,and has fallen into the pit which he made.

16 - The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

17 - I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness,and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
