Chapter 7 | |
1 | O LORD my God, in thee 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 thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded. |
7 | So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou 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 hath bent his bow, and made it ready. |
13 | He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. |
14 | Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath 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. |
