Psalms 7, RSV

7:0 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush a Benjaminite.

7:1 O LORD my God, in thee do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,

7:2 lest like a lion they rend me, dragging me away, with none to rescue.

7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

7:4 if I have requited my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause,

7:5 let the enemy pursue me and overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. [Selah]

7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift thyself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; thou hast appointed a judgment.

7:7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about thee; and over it take thy seat on high.

7:8 The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.

7:9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous, thou who triest the minds and hearts, thou righteous God.

7:10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

7:11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.

7:12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow;

7:13 he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.

7:14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil, and is pregnant with mischief, and brings forth lies.

7:15 He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole which he has made.

7:16 His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own pate his violence descends.

7:17 I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.
