Psalmorum 7
1 psalmus David quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi filii Iemini Domine Deus meus in te speravi salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,
2 nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam dum non est qui redimat neque qui salvum faciat
or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 Domine Deus meus si feci istud si est iniquitas in manibus meis
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,
4 si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis
if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,
5 persequatur inimicus animam meam et conprehendat et conculcet in terra vitam meam et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat diapsalma
then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.
6 exsurge Domine in ira tua exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum et exsurge Domine Deus meus in praecepto quod mandasti
Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
7 et synagoga populorum circumdabit te et propter hanc in altum regredere
Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.
8 Dominus iudicat populos iudica me Domine secundum iustitiam meam et secundum innocentiam meam super me
The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 consummetur nequitia peccatorum et diriges iustum et scrutans corda et renes Deus
Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
10 iustum adiutorium meum a Deo qui salvos facit rectos corde
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 Deus iudex iustus et fortis et patiens numquid irascitur per singulos dies
God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 nisi conversi fueritis gladium suum vibrabit arcum suum tetendit et paravit illum
If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
13 et in eo paravit vasa mortis sagittas suas ardentibus effecit
He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.
14 ecce parturiit iniustitiam et; concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem
Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.
15 lacum aperuit et effodit eum et incidet in foveam quam fecit
He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.
16 convertetur dolor eius in caput eius et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet
His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.
17 confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
