Psalms 7 — NWB
7Verse 1Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:Verse 2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.Verse 3O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there is iniquity in my hands;Verse 4If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)Verse 5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it ; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.Verse 6Arise, O LORD, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.Verse 7So shall the congregation of the people encompass thee: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.Verse 8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.Verse 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.Verse 10My defense is from God, who saveth the upright in heart.Verse 11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.Verse 12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.Verse 13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.Verse 14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.Verse 15He made a pit, and digged it, and hath fallen into the ditch which he made.Verse 16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.Verse 17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
