Psalms of David 7
7
PSALM VII.
C .M.
1O Lord my God, since I have plac’d
My trust alone in thee,
From all my persecutors’ rage
Do thou deliver me.
2To save me from my threat’ning foe,
Lord, interpose thy pow’r;
Lest, like a savage lion, he
My helpless soul devour.
3-4If I am guilty, or did e’er
Against his peace combine;
Nay, if I have not spar’d his life,
Who sought unjustly mine;
5Let then to persecuting foes
My soul become a prey;
Let them to earth tread down my life,
In dust my honour lay.
6Arise, and let thine anger, Lord,
In my defence engage;
Exalt thyself above my foes,
And their insulting rage:
Awake, awake, in my behalf,
The judgment to dispense,
Which thou hast righteously ordain’d
For injur’d innocence.
7So to thy throne adoring crowds
Shall still for justice fly;
Otherefore for their sakes resume
Thy judgment-seat on high!
8Impartial Judge of all the world,
I trust my cause to thee;
According to my just deserts,
So let thy sentence be.
9Let wicked arts and wicked men
Together be o’erthrown;
But guard the just, thou God, to whom
The hearts of both are known.
10-11God me protects, nor only me,
But all of upright heart;
And daily lays up wrath for those
Who from his laws depart.
12If they persist, he whets his sword,
His bow stands ready bent;
13E’en now, with swift destruction wing’d,
His pointed shafts are sent.
14The plots are fruitless, which my foe
Unjustly did conceive;
15The pit he digg’d for me has prov’d
His own untimely grave.
16On his own head his spite returns,
Whilst I from harm am free;
On him the violence is fall’n
Which he design’d for me.
17Therefore will I the righteous ways
Of Providence proclaim;
I’ll sing the praise of God most high,
And celebrate his Name.
