Psalm 7
NASB Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995International Standard Version
1A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,1LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!
2Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.2Otherwise, they will rip me to shreds like a lion, tearing me apart with no one to rescue me.
3O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,3LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is injustice on my hands,
4If I have rewarded evil to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,4if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,
5Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah.5then, let my enemy pursue me, let him overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground. Interlude Let him put my honor into the dust.
6Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.6Get up, LORD, in your anger! Rise up, because of the fury of my enemies; Arouse yourself for me; you have ordained justice.
7Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And over them return on high.7Let the assembly of the peoples gather around you, and you will sit high above them.
8The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.8For the LORD will judge the peoples. Judge me according to my righteousness, LORD, and according to my integrity, Exalted One.
9O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.9Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. For you are the righteous God who discerns the inner thoughts.
10My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.10God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright in heart.
11God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day.11God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry with sinners every day.
12If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.12If the ungodly one doesn't repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and prepare it.
13He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.13He prepares weapons of death for himself, he makes his arrows into fiery shafts.
14Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.14But the wicked one travails with evil, he conceives malice and gives birth to lies.
15He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.15He digs a pit, even excavates it; then he fell into the hole that he had made.
16His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon his own pate.16The trouble he planned will return on his own head, and his violence will descend on his skull.
17I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.17But as for me, I will praise the LORD for his righteousness, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.
