Psalms 7
1
LORD, my God, I take refuge in you.
2
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,
3
LORD, my God, if I have done this,
4
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me
5
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
6
Arise, LORD, in your anger.
7
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
8
The LORD administers judgment to the peoples.
9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
10
My shield is with God,
11
God is a righteous judge,
12
If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword;
13
He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.
14
Behold, he travails with iniquity.
15
He has dug a hole,
16
The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
17
I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness,
