New International Version |   | |
 |
| |
| | Psa 7:1 | O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
| |
| | Psa 7:2 | or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
| |
| | Psa 7:3 | O LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands--
| |
| | Psa 7:4 | if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me or without cause have robbed my foe--
| |
| | Psa 7:5 | then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
| |
| | Psa 7:6 | Arise, O LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.
| |
| | Psa 7:7 | Let the assembled peoples gather around you. Rule over them from on high;
| |
| | Psa 7:8 | let the LORD judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High.
| |
| | Psa 7:9 | O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure.
| |
| | Psa 7:10 | My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.
| |
| | Psa 7:11 | God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day.
| |
| | Psa 7:12 | If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
| |
| | Psa 7:13 | He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.
| |
| | Psa 7:14 | He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment.
| |
| | Psa 7:15 | He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made.
| |
| | Psa 7:16 | The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head.
| |
| | Psa 7:17 | I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
