Psa07 - HOLY BIBLE

Psalms – Chapter 7

¹A plaintive song of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, the Benjaminite.

²LORD my God, in you I trusted;
save me; rescue me from all who pursue me,

³Lest someone maul me like a lion,
tear my soul apart with no one to deliver.

⁴LORD my God, if I have done this,
if there is guilt on my hands,

⁵If I have maltreated someone treating me equitably—
or even despoiled my oppressor without cause—

⁶Then let my enemy pursue and overtake my soul,
trample my life to the ground,
and lay my honor in the dust.

Selah

⁷Rise up, LORD, in your anger;
be aroused against the outrages of my oppressors.
Stir up the justice, my God, you have commanded.

⁸Have the assembly of the peoples gather about you;
and return on high above them,

⁹the LORD will pass judgment on the peoples.
Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness,
and my integrity.

¹⁰Let the malice of the wicked end.
Uphold the just one,
O just God,
who tries hearts and minds.

¹¹God is a shield above me
saving the upright of heart.

¹²God is a just judge, powerful and patient,
not exercising anger every day.

¹³If one does not repent,
God sharpens his sword,
strings and readies the bow,

¹⁴Prepares his deadly shafts,
makes arrows blazing thunderbolts.

¹⁵Consider how one conceives iniquity;
is pregnant with mischief,
and gives birth to deception.

¹⁶He digs a hole and bores it deep,
but he falls into the pit he has made.

¹⁷His malice turns back upon his head;
his violence falls on his own skull.

¹⁸I will thank the LORD in accordance with his justice;
I will sing the name of the LORD Most High.
