Chapter 7 |
|
| |
|
|
1. |
O Lord my God, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
|
|
2. |
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. |
|
3. |
O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
|
|
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:)
|
|
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.
|
|
6. |
Arise, O Lord, in your anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that you have commanded.
|
|
7. |
So shall the congregation of the people surround you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high. |
|
8. |
The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
|
|
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. |
|
10. |
My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
|
|
11. |
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
|
|
12. |
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.
|
|
13. |
He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
|
|
14. |
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
|
|
15. |
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
|
|
16. |
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
|
|
17. |
I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
