Psalms 7:1-9 ▼

1 Song of David which he sang to Jehovah upon the words of Cush, son of the right hand. O Jehovah my God, in thee I put My trust: save me from all pursuing me, and deliver me:

2 Lest he shall rend my soul as the lion, breaking in pieces and none delivering.

3 O Jehovah my God, if I did this, if there is iniquity in my hand;

4 If I rewarded evil him being at peace with me; (and I will deliver mine enemy undeservedly:)

5 The enemy will pursue my soul, and overtake; and he will tread down my life to the earth, and he will cause mine honor to dwell upon the dust Silence.

6 Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger, lift up thyself for the wrath of mine enemies: and awake to me the judgment thou didst command.

7 And the assembly of the people shall surround thee: and for it turn back on high.

8 Jehovah shall judge peoples: judge me, O Jehovah, according to my justice, and according to mine integrity upon me.

9 Now shall the evil of the unjust come to an end; and thou wilt direct the just one: for the just God tried hearts and reins.
