Psalms 7
1 O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
A SHIGGAION OF DAVID, THAT HE SUNG TO YHWH CONCERNING THE WORDS OF CUSH, A BENJAMITE. O YHWH, my God, in You I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.
2 lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Lest he tear my soul as a lion, Tearing, and there is no deliverer.
3 O Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands,
O YHWH, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,
4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yea, I have delivered him without cause who was my adversary),
If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it. Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
[Then] an enemy pursues my soul, and overtakes, And treads down my life to the earth, And places my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger. Lift up thyself against the rage of my adversaries, and awake for me the justice thou have commanded.
Rise, O YHWH, in Your anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of my adversaries, And awake Yourself for me: You have commanded judgment.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples encompass thee about, and return thou on high over them.
And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
8 Jehovah shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
YHWH judges the peoples; Judge me, O YHWH, According to my righteousness, And according to my integrity [that is] on me.
9 O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.
Please let the evil of the wicked be ended, And establish the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.
10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
11 God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.
God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
12 If a man does not repent, he will whet his sword. He has bent his bow, and made it ready.
If [one] does not turn, He sharpens His sword, He has bent His bow [and] He prepares it,
13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death. He makes his arrows fiery.
Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
14 Behold the wicked man, he travails with iniquity. Yea, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
15 He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
He has prepared a pit, and he digs it, And he falls into a ditch he makes.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own scalp.
His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
17 I will give thanks to Jehovah according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
