Psalm 7
A Faithful Version

A song of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

1O LORD my God, in You have I taken refuge; save me from all who pursue me and deliver me,

2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

3O LORD my God, if I have done this-- if there is iniquity in my hands,

4If I have rewarded evil to the one who was at peace with me, or if I have plundered my enemy without cause--

5Then let the enemy pursue my soul and take it; yea, let him trample down my life upon the earth and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

6Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies, and awake for me at the judgment which You have commanded.

7And let the congregation of the people surround You; and rule over them from on high.

8The LORD shall judge the people; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity within me.

9O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.

10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

11God is a righteous judge, and a God Who has indignation every day.

12If he does not turn, He will whet His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.

13Yea, He has also prepared for Himself weapons of death; He has made His arrows fiery shafts.

14Behold, he labors with iniquity, and he has conceived mischief, and has brought forth falsehood.

15He dug a pit and hollowed it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he made.

16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own crown.

17I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
