Chapter 7
Psal GodsWord 7:1  O LORD my God, I have taken refuge in you. Save me, and rescue me from all who are pursuing me.
Psal GodsWord 7:2  Like a lion they will tear me to pieces and drag me off with no one to rescue me.
Psal GodsWord 7:3  O LORD my God, if I have done this-- if my hands are stained with injustice,
Psal GodsWord 7:4  if I have paid back my friend with evil or rescued someone who has no reason to attack me--
Psal GodsWord 7:5  then let the enemy chase me and catch me. Let him trample my life into the ground. Let him lay my honor in the dust. Selah
Psal GodsWord 7:6  Arise in anger, O LORD. Stand up against the fury of my attackers. Wake up, my God. You have already pronounced judgment.
Psal GodsWord 7:7  Let an assembly of people gather around you. Take your seat high above them.
Psal GodsWord 7:8  The LORD judges the people of the world. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity.
Psal GodsWord 7:9  Let the evil within wicked people come to an end, but make the righteous person secure, O righteous God who examines thoughts and emotions.
Psal GodsWord 7:10  My shield is God above, who saves those whose motives are decent.
Psal GodsWord 7:11  God is a fair judge, a God who is angered by injustice every day.
Psal GodsWord 7:12  If a person does not change, God sharpens his sword. By bending his bow, he makes it ready to shoot.
Psal GodsWord 7:13  He prepares his deadly weapons and turns them into flaming arrows.
Psal GodsWord 7:14  See how that person conceives evil, is pregnant with harm, and gives birth to lies.
Psal GodsWord 7:15  He digs a pit and shovels it out. Then he falls into the hole that he made for others.
Psal GodsWord 7:16  His mischief lands back on his own head. His violence comes down on top of him.
Psal GodsWord 7:17  I will give thanks to the LORD for his righteousness. I will make music to praise the name of the LORD Most High.
