Psalm 7

1. 1

   O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; *
   save and deliver me from all who pursue me;

2. 2

   Lest like a lion they tear me in pieces *
   and snatch me away with none to deliver me.

3. 3

   O LORD my God, if I have done these things: *
   if there is any wickedness in my hands,

4. 4

   If I have repaid my friend with evil, *
   or plundered him who without cause is my enemy;

5. 5

   Then let my enemy pursue and overtake me, *
   trample my life into the ground, and lay my honor in the dust.

6. 6

   Stand up, O LORD, in your wrath; *
   rise up against the fury of my enemies.

7. 7

   Awake, O my God, decree justice; *
   let the assembly of the peoples gather round you.

8. 8

   Be seated on your lofty throne, O Most High; *
   O LORD, judge the nations.

9. 9

   Give judgment for me according to my righteousness, O LORD, *
   and according to my innocence, O Most High.

10. 10

    Let the malice of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; *
    for you test the mind and heart, O righteous God.

11. 11

    God is my shield and defense; *
    he is the savior of the true in heart.

12. 12

    God is a righteous judge; *
    God sits in judgment every day.

13. 13

    If they will not repent, God will whet his sword; *
    he will bend his bow and make it ready.

14. 14

    He has prepared his weapons of death; *
    he makes his arrows shafts of fire.

15. 15

    Look at those who are in labor with wickedness, *
    who conceive evil, and give birth to a lie.

16. 16

    They dig a pit and make it deep *
    and fall into the hole that they have made.

17. 17

    Their malice turns back upon their own head; *
    their violence falls on their own scalp.

18. 18

    I will bear witness that the LORD is righteous; *
    I will praise the Name of the LORD Most High.
