1 <V 7:1>A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. <V 7:2>O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me: O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, A shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
2 <V 7:3>lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save. lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3 <V 7:4>O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this: O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands—
4 <V 7:5>if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies: if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, if I have repaid my ally with evil or without cause have robbed my foe—
5 <V 7:6>let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
6 <V 7:7>Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded, Arise, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. Arise, LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.
7 <V 7:8>and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high. Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you; over it return on high. Let the assembled peoples gather around you, while you sit enthroned over them on high.
8 <V 7:9>The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me. The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me. Let the LORD judge the peoples. Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High.
9 <V 7:10>The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God. Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God! Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.
10 <V 7:11>Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart. My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.
11 <V 7:12>God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day? God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.
12 <V 7:13>Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready. If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and readied his bow; If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
13 <V 7:14>And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire. he has prepared for him his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts. He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.
14 <V 7:15>Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity. Behold, the wicked man conceives evil and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies. Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15 <V 7:16>He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made. He makes a pit, digging it out, and falls into the hole that he has made. Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.
16 <V 7:17>His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point. His mischief returns upon his own head, and on his own skull his violence descends. The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.
17 <V 7:18>I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High. I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High. I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.
