PS-7:1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD,

concerning the words

of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust:

save me from

all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

PS-7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces,

while [there

is] none to deliver.

PS-7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity

in my hands;

PS-7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with

me; (yea, I

have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

PS-7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let

him tread down

my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

PS-7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of

the rage of

mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the judgment [that] thou

hast commanded.

PS-7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee

about: for their

sakes therefore return thou on high.

PS-7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD,

according to my

righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.

PS-7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but

establish the

just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

PS-7:10 My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in

heart.

PS-7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the

wicked] every

day.

PS-7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his

bow, and made

it ready.

PS-7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

he ordaineth

his arrows against the persecutors.

PS-7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived

mischief, and

brought forth falsehood.

PS-7:15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the

ditch [which] he

made.

PS-7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his

violent dealing

shall come down upon his own pate.

PS-7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness:

and will sing

praise to the name of the LORD most high.
