Psalms 7:1-9

1A passionate song of David, which he sang to Adonai concerning Cush, a Benjamite.

2Adonai my God, in You I have taken refuge. Save me from each of my persecutors, and deliver me.

3Otherwise he will rip me apart like a lion, with no one to rescue me.

4Adonai my God, if I have done this— if there is guilt on my hands,

5if I have paid back evil to anyone at peace with me, or unjustly attacked my adversary,

6then let the enemy chase me, overtake me, and trample me into the ground, leaving my honor in the dirt! Selah

7Arise, Adonai, in Your anger, arise against the fury of my enemies! Awake for me! You decreed justice.

8Let an assembly of peoples gather around You and return on high, above them.

9Adonai judges the peoples. Vindicate me, Adonai, according to my righteousness and integrity in me.
