Psalms - Chapter 7 - A Conservative Version
- O LORD my God, in thee do I take refuge. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
- lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
- O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands,
- if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, (yea, I have delivered him without cause who was my adversary),
- 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 LORD, in thine anger. Lift up thyself against the rage of my adversaries, and awake for me the justice thou have commanded.
- And let the congregation of the peoples encompass thee about, and return thou on high over them.
- LORD shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
- O let the wickedness of the wicked man come to an end, but establish thou the righteous man. For the righteous God tries the minds and hearts.
- My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
- God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.
- If a man does not repent, he will whet his sword. He has bent his bow, and made it ready.
- He has also prepared for him the instruments of death. He makes his arrows fiery.
- Behold [the wicked man], he travails with iniquity. Yea, he has conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
- He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
- His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own scalp.
- I will give thanks to LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of LORD Most High.
