< Psalms 7 >
1 Shiggaion to/for David which to sing to/for LORD upon word Cush Benjaminite Benjaminite LORD God my in/on/with you to seek refuge to save me from all to pursue me and to rescue me
Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;
2 lest to tear like/as lion soul my to tear and nothing to rescue
So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.
3 LORD God my if to make: do this if there injustice in/on/with palm my
O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;
4 if to wean to ally me bad: evil and to rescue [emph?] to vex me emptily
If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;
5 to pursue enemy soul my and to overtake and to trample to/for land: soil life my and glory my to/for dust to dwell (Selah)
Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah)
6 to arise: rise [emph?] LORD in/on/with face: anger your to lift: raise in/on/with fury to vex me and to rouse [emph?] to(wards) me justice: judgement to command
Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.
7 and congregation people to turn: turn you and upon her to/for height to return: return [emph?]
The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.
8 LORD to judge people to judge me LORD like/as righteousness my and like/as integrity my upon me
The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.
9 to cease please bad: evil wicked and to establish: establish righteous and to test heart and kidney God righteous
O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.
10 shield my upon God to save upright heart
God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.
11 God to judge righteous and God be indignant in/on/with all day
God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.
12 if not to return: repent sword his to sharpen bow his to tread and to establish: prepare her
If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.
13 and to/for him to establish: prepare article/utensil death arrow his to/for to burn/pursue to work
He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.
14 behold be in labour evil: wickedness and to conceive trouble and to beget deception
That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.
15 pit to pierce and to search him and to fall: fall in/on/with pit: grave to work
He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made
16 to return: return trouble his in/on/with head his and upon crown his violence his to go down
His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.
17 to give thanks LORD like/as righteousness his and to sing name LORD Most High
I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.
