Psalm 7
7
A Prayer for Vindication
Shiggai´on of David, which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
1O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust:
save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2lest he tear my soul like a lion,
rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3O Lord my God, if I have done this;
if there be iniquity in my hands;
4if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy;)
5let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it;
yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth,
and lay mine honor in the dust. Selah.
6Arise, O Lord, in thine anger,
lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies:
and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about:
for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8The Lord shall judge the people:
judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,
and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 #
Rev 2.23. Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;
but establish the just:
for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10My defense is of God,
which saveth the upright in heart.
11God judgeth the righteous,
and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12If he turn not, he will whet his sword;
he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity,
and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15He made a pit, and digged it,
and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16His mischief shall return upon his own head,
and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness:
and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

Psalms 7
7
Adonai Magen
1A passionate song of David, which he sang to Adonai concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
2Adonai my God, in You I have taken refuge. Save me from each of my persecutors, and deliver me.
3Otherwise he will rip me apart like a lion, with no one to rescue me.
4Adonai my God, if I have done this— if there is guilt on my hands,
5if I have paid back evil to anyone at peace with me, or unjustly attacked my adversary,
6 then let the enemy chase me, overtake me, and trample me into the ground, leaving my honor in the dirt! Selah
7Arise, Adonai, in Your anger, arise against the fury of my enemies! Awake for me! You decreed justice.
8Let an assembly of peoples gather around You and return on high, above them.
9Adonai judges the peoples. Vindicate me, Adonai, according to my righteousness and integrity in me.
10Please, end the evil of the wicked and sustain the righteous. A just God examines hearts and minds.
11My shield is God— Savior of the upright in heart.
12God is a righteous judge, a God who is indignant every day.
13If He does not relent, He will sharpen His sword. He has bent His bow and made it ready.
14He prepares His own deadly weapons. He makes His fiery arrows.
15Look! The one pregnant with trouble conceives mischief and brings forth deceit.
16He digs a pit, scrapes it out, and then falls into the hole he has made.
17His mischief will turn on his own head. His violence will boomerang on his crown.
18I will praise Adonai for His justice. I sing praise to the Name of Adonai Elyon!
