Psalms 7
1 A Shiggaion of David which he sang to Yahweh on [the] words of Cush a Ben-jaminite. O Yahweh God my in you I have sought refuge save me from all pursuers my and deliver me.
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in you have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
2 Lest he should tear to pieces like a lion self my tearing and there not [is] a deliverer.
Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.
3 O Yahweh God my if I have done this if there [is] unrighteousness in hands my.
O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands; )
4 If I have repaid [one who] is at peace with me evil and I have rescued! opposer my without cause.
if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.
5 May he pursue an enemy - life my and may he overtake [it] and he may trample to the earth life my and honor my - to the dust may he lay (Selah)
Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. (Pause)
6 Arise! O Yahweh - in anger your raise yourself on [the] furi of opposers my and awake! to me justice you have commanded.
Arise, O Lord, in your wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which you did command.
7 And an assembly of nations may it surround you and over it to the height return!
And the congregation of the nations shall compass you: and for this cause do you return on high.
8 Yahweh let him judge peoples vindicate me O Yahweh according to righteousness my and according to integrity my on me.
The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
9 May it come to an end please [the] evil of - wicked [people] and may you establish [the] righteous and [who] tests hearts and kidneys O God righteous.
Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and [then] you shall direct the righteous, O God that search the hearts and reins.
10 Shield my [is] on God a deliverer of [people] upright of heart.
My help is righteous, [coming] from God who saves the upright in heart.
11 God [is] a judge righteous and God [is] indignant on every day.
God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.
12 If not anyone will repent sword his he will sharpen bow his he has bent and he has prepared it.
If you will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 And for him he has prepared weapons of death arrows his into burning [things] he will make.
And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the raging ones.
14 There! he is in labor with wickedness and he conceives mischief and he brings forth falsehood.
Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.
15 A pit he digs and he has dug it and he has fallen in [the] pit [which] he made.
He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.
16 It returns mischief his on own head his and on scalp his violence his it comes down.
His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
17 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to righteousness his and I will sing praise to [the] name of Yahweh [the] Most High.
I will give thanks to the Lord according to his righteousness; I will sing to the name of the Lord most high.
