LITV - Psalms - 7

7:1  A song of David, which he sang to Jehovah on the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, I seek refuge in You; save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me;

7:2  lest he tear my soul like a lion, ripping, and there be no one to deliver.

7:3  O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands:

7:4  if I have repaid evil to my friend or I have plundered my vexer without cause,

7:5  let the enemy pursue and overtake my soul; yea, trample down my life to earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

7:6  Arise, O Jehovah, in Your anger; be lifted up at the rage of my vexers; and awake for Me! You have commanded judgment.

7:7  And the assembly of the peoples shall surround You, and over it You will return on high;

7:8  Jehovah will judge the people. O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity on me.

7:9  Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; and You will establish the just; for the righteous God is a trier of hearts and reins.

7:10  My defense is on God, who saves the upright of heart.

7:11  God is a righteous judge; and God is angry with evildoers every day.

7:12  If he will not turn, He will whet His sword; He has trod His bow, He made it ready;

7:13  yea, He has fitted for him instruments of death. He will make ready His arrows for pursuers.

7:14  Behold, he writhes with iniquity and he will conceive mischief: and he has fathered falsehood;

7:15  he dug a pit and bored it, and has fallen into the ditch he made.

7:16  His mischief shall return on his own head, and his violence shall come down on his own crown.

7:17  I will thank Jehovah according to His righteousness, and will praise the name of Jehovah most high.
