Psalms 7:1-9 ▼

1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust; save me; from all them that persecute me, deliver me,

2 Lest my soul be torn as by a lion, and there is no one to save me and to deliver me.

3 O LORD my God, if I have done this thing and if there be iniquity in my hands,

4 If I have been vengeful to him that has done me evil, and if I have oppressed my enemies without a cause;

5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me, yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth and lay my honor in the dust.

6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself over the neck of mine enemies; and make me alert in the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7 Let the congregation of the peoples circle thee about; and for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

8 The LORD shall judge the people; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.

9 Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; and establish thou the righteous, O thou searcher of hearts and souls.
