CHAPTER 7

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