Rotherham - Psalms - 7

7:1  O Yahweh my God, in thee, have I sought refuge,—Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me:

7:2  Lest one tear, as a lion, my soul,—and there be no deliverer to rescue.

7:3  O Yahweh my God, If I have done this, If there hath been perversity in my hands:

7:4  If I have requited my friend with wrong,—or have oppressed mine adversary without need,

7:5  Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life,—and, mine honour—in the dust, he may cause to dwell. [Selah.]

7:6  Rise! Yahweh! in thine anger, Lift thyself up, because of the haughty outbursts of mine adversaries, Stir up for me the justice thou hast commanded:

7:7  When, the assembly of peoples, gather round thee, then, above it—on high, do thou return!

7:8  Yahweh, will judge the peoples,—Do me justice, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity upon me,

7:9  Let the wrong of the lawless, I pray thee, come to an end, and establish thou him that is righteous,—for, a trier of hearts and reins, is God the righteous one.

7:10  My shield, is held by God, who is ready to save the upright in heart:

7:11  A God to vindicate the righteous,—And yet a God to be indignant throughout every day.

7:12  If he turn not, his sword, will he whet,—his bow, hath he bent, and made ready:

7:13  But, for himself, hath he made ready the weapons so deadly, His arrows, he, so fiery, would make:

7:14  Lo! he gendereth trouble, and conceiveth mischief, but giveth birth to a disappointment:

7:15  A pit, he cut out, and digged it, and then fell into the ditch he had made:

7:16  His mischief, turneth back, on his own head,—and, on his own crown, his violence, descendeth.

7:17  I will praise Yahweh according to his righteousness,—and will praise in song the Name of Yahweh Most High.
