| Psa. 7:1 |
O Jehovah my God, in You do I take refuge. / Save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me; |
| Psa. 7:2 |
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, / Tearing [it] apart without anyone to deliver [it.] |
| Psa. 7:3 |
O Jehovah my God, if I have done this, / If there is unrighteousness in my hands, |
| Psa. 7:4 |
If I have recompensed with evil him who was at peace with me / (Rather, I have delivered him who vexed me without cause); |
| Psa. 7:5 |
Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake [me,] / And let him trample my life to the ground / And lay my glory down in the dust. Selah |
| Psa. 7:6 |
Arise, O Jehovah, in Your anger; / Lift Yourself up against the overflowing wrath of those who vex me, / And awake for me: You have commanded judgment. |
| Psa. 7:7 |
And let the assembly of the peoples surround You, / And over it return on high. |
| Psa. 7:8 |
Jehovah will execute judgment on the peoples; / Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness / And according to my integrity that is with me. |
| Psa. 7:9 |
Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, / But establish the righteous man. / For the righteous God / Tries the hearts and the inward parts. |
| Psa. 7:10 |
My shield is with God, / Who saves the upright in heart. |
| Psa. 7:11 |
God is a righteous Judge / And a God who has indignation every day. |
| Psa. 7:12 |
If one does not turn, He will whet His sword. / He bends His bow and makes it ready. |
| Psa. 7:13 |
And He prepares instruments of death against him; / He has made His arrows fiery [shafts.] |
| Psa. 7:14 |
Behold, [the evil man] travails with iniquity; / He conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood. |
| Psa. 7:15 |
He digs a pit and hollows it out, / Then he falls into the hole that he has made. |
| Psa. 7:16 |
His mischief returns upon his own head, / And upon the crown of his own head his violence comes down. |
| Psa. 7:17 |
I will give thanks to Jehovah according to His righteousness, / And I will sing psalms to the name of Jehovah the Most High. |
