Psalms 7

The Lord Implored to Defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.

A I.e. Dithyrambic rhythm; or wild passionate songShiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord Or concerning the words ofconcerning Cush, a Benjamite.

1O Lord my GodH430, 1in You I have takenH2620 refugeH2620; SaveH3467 me from allH3605 those who pursueH7291 me, and 2deliverH5337 me,2OrH6435 he will tearH2963 3my soulH5315 4like a lionH743, 5DraggingH6561 me awayH6561, while thereH369 is noneH369 to deliverH5337.

3O LordH3068 my GodH430, ifH518 I have doneH6213 thisH2088, IfH518 thereH3426 is 6injusticeH5766 in my handsH3709,4IfH518 I have 7rewardedH1580 evilH7451 to 8my friendH7999, Or have 9plunderedH2502 10him who withoutH7387 causeH7387 was my adversaryH6887,5Let the enemyH340 pursueH7291 11my soulH5315 and overtakeH5381 12it; And let him trampleH7429 my lifeH2425 downH7429 to the groundH776 And layH7931 my gloryH3519 in the dustH6083. 13SelahH5542.

614AriseH6965, O LordH3068, in Your angerH639; 15LiftH5375 up Yourself against 16the rageH5678 of my adversariesH6887, And 17arouseH5782 Yourself 18for me; You have appointedH6680 judgmentH4941.7Let the assemblyH5712 of the 19peoplesH3816 encompassH5437 You, And overH5921 20them returnH7725 on highH4791.8The LordH3068 21judgesH1777 the peoplesH5971; 2223VindicateH8199 me, O LordH3068, according to my righteousnessH6664 and my integrityH8537 that is in me.9OH4994 let 24the evilH7451 of the wickedH7563 comeH1584 to an endH1584, but 25establishH3559 the righteousH6662; For the righteousH6662 GodH430 26triesH974 the heartsH3820 and 27mindsH3629.10My 28shieldH4043 is 29with GodH430, Who 30savesH3467 the uprightH3477 in heartH3820.11GodH430 is a 31righteousH6662 judgeH8199, And a GodH410 who has 32indignationH2194 everyH3605 dayH3117.

12IfH518 33a man 34does not repentH7725, He will 35sharpenH3913 His swordH2719; He has 36bentH1869 His bowH7198 and 37madeH3559 it readyH3559.13He has also preparedH3559 38for Himself deadlyH4194 weaponsH3627; He makesH6466 His 39arrowsH2671 fieryH1814 shaftsH1814.14BeholdH2009, he travailsH2254 with wickednessH205, And he 40conceivesH2029 mischiefH5999 and bringsH3205 forthH3205 falsehoodH8267.15He has dugH3738 a pitH953 and hollowedH2658 it out, And has 41fallenH5307 into the holeH7845 which he madeH6466.16His 42mischiefH5999 will returnH7725 upon his own headH7218, And his 43violenceH2555 will descendH3381 upon 44his own pateH6936.

17I will giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068 45according to His righteousnessH6664 And will 46singH2167 praiseH2167 to the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 MostH5945 HighH5945.
