Psalms 7

Psalm 7

The L ord Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.

¹O Lord my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and rescue me,

²Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is no one to rescue me.

³¶O Lord my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,

⁴If I have done evil to my friend, Or have plundered my enemy for no reason,

⁵Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶¶Arise, Lord, in Your anger; Raise Yourself against the rage of my enemies, And stir Yourself for me; You have ordered judgment.

⁷Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And return on high over it.

⁸The Lord judges the peoples; Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.

⁹Please let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God puts hearts and minds to the test.

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

¹¹God is a righteous judge, And a God who shows indignation every day.

¹²¶If one does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and taken aim.

¹³He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

¹⁴Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice, And he conceives harm and gives birth to lies.

¹⁵He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.

¹⁶His harm will return on his own head, And his violence will descend on the top 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.
