PSALM 7
The LORD Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.
A [fn]Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD [fn]concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
1 O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge;
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
2 Or he will tear [fn]my soul like a lion,
[fn]Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this,
If there is injustice in my hands,
4 If I have rewarded evil to [fn]my friend,
Or have plundered [fn]him who without cause was my adversary,
5 Let the enemy pursue [fn]my soul and overtake [fn]it;
And let him trample my life down to the ground
And lay my glory in the dust. [fn]Selah.
6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger;
Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries,
And arouse Yourself [fn]for me; You have appointed judgment.
7 Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You,
And over [fn]them return on high.
8 The LORD judges the peoples;
[fn]Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous;
For the righteous God tries the hearts and [fn]minds.
10 My shield is [fn]with God,
Who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge,
And a God who has indignation every day.
12 If [fn]a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword;
He has bent His bow and [fn]made it ready.
13 He has also prepared [fn]for Himself deadly weapons;
He makes His arrows fiery shafts.
14 Behold, he travails with wickedness,
And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.
15 He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has fallen into the hole which he made.
16 His mischief will return upon his own head,
And his violence will descend upon [fn]his own pate.
17 I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness
And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
