Psalm 7
Shiggaion
of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning
the words of Cush the Benjamite.
1.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.
