Psalms 7:1-9

1O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,

2Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

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

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

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

6Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!

7So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.

8The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.

9Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
