| 7:1
| O LORD my God, in thee 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 unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have
delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 7:7
| So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their
sakes therefore return thou on high.
|
| 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.
|
| 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.
|
| 7:10
| My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
|
| 7:11
| God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
|
| 7:12
| If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made
it ready.
|
| 7:13
| He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his
arrows against the persecutors.
|
| 7:14
| Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and
brought forth falsehood.
|
| 7:15
| He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he
made.
|
| 7:16
| His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing
shall come down upon 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.
