Psalms 7 — DRA
7Verse 1The psalm of David which he sung to the Lord for the words of Chusi the son of Jemini. [2 Kings 16]
Verse 2O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
Verse 3Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
Verse 4O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:
Verse 5If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
Verse 6Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
Verse 7Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:
Verse 8And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.
Verse 9The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.
Verse 10The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
Verse 11Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.
Verse 12God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?
Verse 13Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
Verse 14And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
Verse 15Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
Verse 16He hath opened a pit and dug it; and he is fallen into the hole he made.
Verse 17His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall comedown upon his crown.
Verse 18I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
Verse 2O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
