PSALMS ยท Chapter 7
7:1 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that
persecute me, and deliver me:
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there
is none to deliver.
7:3 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;
7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea,
I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
7:6 Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage
of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for
their sakes therefore return you on high.
7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to
my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish
the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
7:10 My defence is of God, which saves the upright in heart.
7:11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every
day.
7:12 If he turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent his bow,
and made it ready.
7:13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains
his arrows against the persecutors.
7:14 Behold, he labors with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and
brought forth falsehood.
7:15 He made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which
he made.
7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing
shall come down upon his own crown of the head.
7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will
sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
