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 meditation by David, which he sang to YHWH, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.] YHWH, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2 Lest he should tear to pieces like a lion self my tearing and there not [is] a deliverer.
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Yahweh God my if I have done this if there [is] unrighteousness in hands my.
YHWH, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity 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 rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, or oppressed my enemy without cause,
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 pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. (Selah)
6 Arise! O Yahweh - in anger your raise yourself on [the] furi of opposers my and awake! to me justice you have commanded.
Arise, YHWH, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake, my God; you have appointed judgment.
7 And an assembly of nations may it surround you and over it to the height return!
And let the congregation of the peoples surround you, and rule over them on high.
8 Yahweh let him judge peoples vindicate me O Yahweh according to righteousness my and according to integrity my on me.
YHWH administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, YHWH, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity 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 the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. The righteous God tests hearts and minds.
10 Shield my [is] on God a deliverer of [people] upright of heart.
My shield is with 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, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
12 If not anyone will repent sword his he will sharpen bow his he has bent and he has prepared it.
If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.
13 And for him he has prepared weapons of death arrows his into burning [things] he will make.
He has also prepared for himself deadly weapons. He makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 There! he is in labor with wickedness and he conceives mischief and he brings forth falsehood.
Look, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 A pit he digs and he has dug it and he has fallen in [the] pit [which] he made.
He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
16 It returns mischief his on own head his and on scalp his violence his it comes down.
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head, and his violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
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 YHWH according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of YHWH Most High.
