Psalms 7:1-9

1Lord my God, I seek refuge in you; save me from all my pursuers and rescue me,

2or they will tear me like a lion, ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.

3Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice on my hands,

4if I have done harm to one at peace with me or have plundered my adversary without cause,

5may an enemy pursue and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust.Selah

6Rise up, Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my adversaries; awake for me; you have ordained a judgment.

7Let the assembly of peoples gather around you; take your seat on high over it.

8The Lord judges the peoples; vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity.

9Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. The one who examines the thoughts and emotions is a righteous God.
