Psalms 7
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
—
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver (note: Heb. not a deliverer).
—
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
—
Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
—
Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
—
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
—
The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
—
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
—
God judgeth the righteous (note: Or, God is a righteous Judge), and God is angry with the wicked every day.
—
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
—
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
—
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
—
I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
