Psalms 7

1[Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the Yahuah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.] O Yahuah my Elohim, in you do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending in pieces, while none to deliver. 3O Yahuah my Elohim, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; 4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yes, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) 5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take ; yes, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6Arise, O Yahuah, in your anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me the judgment you hast commanded. 7So shall the congregation of the people compass you about: for their sakes therefore return you on high. 8The Yahuah shall judge the people: judge me, O Yahuah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity in me. 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous Elohim trieth the hearts and reins. 10My defence of Elohim, which saveth the upright in heart. 11Elohim judgeth the righteous, and Elohim is angry every day. 12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready. 13He has also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch he made. 16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 17I will praise the Yahuah according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Yahuah most high.
