Psalm 7
- 1
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers, Begin Abide·
- 2
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me. Begin Abide·
- 3
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands, Begin Abide·
- 4
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause, Begin Abide·
- 5
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah Begin Abide·
- 6
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment. Begin Abide·
- 7
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high. Begin Abide·
- 8
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity. Begin Abide·
- 9
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds. Begin Abide·
- 10
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. Begin Abide·
- 11
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day. Begin Abide·
- 12
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow. Begin Abide·
- 13
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire. Begin Abide·
- 14
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood. Begin Abide·
- 15
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making. Begin Abide·
- 16
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head. Begin Abide·
- 17
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High. Begin Abide·
