Psalms Chapter 7

7 : 1 O LORD my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

7 : 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

7 : 3 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

7 : 4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is my enemy:)

7 : 5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yes, let him tread down my life on the earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.

7 : 6 Arise, O LORD, in your anger, lift up yourself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.

7 : 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high.

7 : 8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity that is in me.

7 : 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.

7 : 10 My defense is of God, which saves the upright in heart.

7 : 11 God judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

7 : 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.

7 : 13 He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.

7 : 14 Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

7 : 15 He made a pit, and dig it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

7 : 16 His mischief shall return on his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own pate.

7 : 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
