The Book of Psalms

 

Chapter 7

 

 

1.

 

Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

    
 
 

2.

 

Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.

    
 
 

3.

 

O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

    
 
 

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:)

    
 
 

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.

    
 
 

6.

 

Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou hast commanded.

    
 
 

7.

 

So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

    
 
 

8.

 

The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.

    
 
 

9.

 

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

    
 
 

10.

 

My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

    
 
 

11.

 

God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.

    
 
 

12.

 

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

    
 
 

13.

 

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

    
 
 

14.

 

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

    
 
 

15.

 

He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made.

    
 
 

16.

 

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

    
 
 

17.

 

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
