MKJV - Psalms - 7

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

7:2  lest he tear my soul like a lion, tearing it in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

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

7:4  if I have rewarded evil to my friend, or if I have delivered my vexer without cause;

7:5  let the enemy persecute my soul and take it; yea, let him trample down my life on the earth and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

7:6  Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; lift up Yourself because of the rage of my enemies, and awake for me to the judgment which You have commanded.

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

7:8  The LORD shall judge the people; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity on me.

7:9  O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.

7:10  My defense is from God, who saves the upright in heart.

7:11  God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

7:12  If he does not turn, He will whet His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.

7:13  Yea, He has fitted for him instruments of death; He will make ready His arrows hotly pursue.

7:14  Behold, he labors in pain with iniquity, and he has conceived mischief, and has brought forth falsehood.

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

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

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