Psalms 7
1 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute 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 he 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 LORD 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 that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy: )
If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw my adversary without cause,
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yes, let him tread down my life on the earth, and lay my honor 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 LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you 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 So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high.
And a congregation of peoples surround You, And over it turn back on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according 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 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
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 defense is of God, which saves the upright in heart.
My shield [is] on God, Savior of the upright in heart!
11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
God [is] judging right, And He is not angry at all times.
12 If he turn not, 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 ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
Indeed, He has prepared for Himself Instruments of death, He makes His arrows for burning pursuers.
14 Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
Behold, he travails [with] iniquity, And he has conceived perverseness, And has brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and dig 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 on his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own pate.
His perverseness returns on his head, And his violence comes down on his crown.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
I thank YHWH, According to His righteousness, And I praise the Name of YHWH Most High!
