Psalms 7:1-9

1O Lord my God, in You I take refuge; Save me and rescue me from all those who pursue me,

2So that my enemy will not tear me like a lion, Dragging me away while there is no one to rescue [me].

3O Lord my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,

4If I have done evil to him who was at peace with me, Or without cause robbed him who was my enemy,

5Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

6Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me; You have commanded judgment and vindication.

7Let the assembly of the nations be gathered around You, And return on high over them.

8The Lord judges the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, and grant me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity within me.

9Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You]; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.
