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.

Tehillim (Psalms) 7
7
1O יהוה my Elohim, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all my pursuers; And deliver me,
2Lest they tear at my throat like a lion, Rending in pieces, with no one to deliver.
3O יהוה my Elohim, if I have done this: If there is unrighteousness in my hands,
4If I have done evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,
5Let the enemy pursue me and overtake my being, And trample my life to the ground, And lay my esteem in the dust. Selah.
6Arise, O יהוה, in Your displeasure; Lift Yourself up against the rage of my adversaries, And awake for me! You shall command judgment!
7And let the congregation of the peoples gather about You; And over them return on high.
8יהוה judges the peoples; Judge me, O יהוה, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
9Please let the evil of the wrong be ended, And establish the righteous; For the righteous Elohim is a trier of hearts and kidneys.
10My shield is upon Elohim, Who saves the upright in heart.
11Elohim is a righteous judge. And Ěl is enraged every day,
12If one does not repent! He sharpens His sword, He bends His bow and makes it ready,
13And He has prepared for Himself instruments of death, He makes His arrows hot for pursuers.
14See, he who is bound with wickedness, And has conceived trouble and brought forth falsehood,
15He has made a pit and dug it out, And falls into the ditch he made!
16His trouble turns back upon his own head, And his wrongdoing comes down on the top of his head.
17I give thanks to יהוה according to His righteousness, And praise the Name of יהוה Most High.
