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.
Ode of David: which he sang unto Yahweh, on account of the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge, —Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:
2 Lest he should tear to pieces like a lion self my tearing and there not [is] a deliverer.
Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul, —and there be no deliverer to rescue.
3 O Yahweh God my if I have done this if there [is] unrighteousness in hands my.
O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity 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 my friend with wrong, —or have oppressed mine adversary without need,
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 an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life, —and, mine honour—in the dust, he may cause to dwell. (Selah)
6 Arise! O Yahweh - in anger your raise yourself on [the] furi of opposers my and awake! to me justice you have commanded.
Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:
7 And an assembly of nations may it surround you and over it to the height return!
When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it—on high, do thou return!
8 Yahweh let him judge peoples vindicate me O Yahweh according to righteousness my and according to integrity my on me.
Yahweh, will judge the peoples, —Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon 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.
Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous, —for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.
10 Shield my [is] on God a deliverer of [people] upright of heart.
My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:
11 God [is] a judge righteous and God [is] indignant on every day.
A God to vindicate the righteous, —And yet a God to be indignant throughout every day.
12 If not anyone will repent sword his he will sharpen bow his he has bent and he has prepared it.
If he turn not, his sword, will he whet, —his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:
13 And for him he has prepared weapons of death arrows his into burning [things] he will make.
But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:
14 There! he is in labor with wickedness and he conceives mischief and he brings forth falsehood.
Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:
15 A pit he digs and he has dug it and he has fallen in [the] pit [which] he made.
A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:
16 It returns mischief his on own head his and on scalp his violence his it comes down.
His mischief, turneth back, on his own head, —and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.
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 praise Yahweh according to his righteousness, —and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.
