Chapter 7

1


 

  Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. 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.
