Psa Psalms, psalm Book of Psalms, psalm 7
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.
O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge:
Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,
Lest they tear my soul like a lion,
Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
O Jehovah my God, if I have done this;
If there be iniquity in my hands;Job 31:7
If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me
(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);1Sa 24:6; 1Sa 26:9
Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;
Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth,
And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah
Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;
Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,
And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about;
And over them return thou on high.
Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples:
Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.Gen 18:25; Psa 26:1
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:
For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.1Sa 16:7; 1Ch 28:9; Jer 11:20; Jer 17:10; Jer 20:12; Rev 2:23
My shield is with God,
Who saveth the upright in heart.
God is a righteous judge,
Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
If a man turn not, he will whet his sword;
He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;Lam 2:4; Lam 3:12
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity;
Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.Job 15:35; Isa 59:4
He hath made a pit, and digged it,
And is fallen into the ditch which he made.Psa 9:15; Psa 57:6; Pro 5:22
His mischief shall return upon his own head,
And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.Neh 4:5; Psa 140:9
I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
