Psalm 7 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

Jehovah Implored to defend the Psalmist against the Wicked.

Psa 7:1

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

O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge:

Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

Psa 7:2

Lest they tear my soul like a lion,

Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Psa 7:3

O Jehovah my God, if I have done this;

If there be iniquity in my hands;

Psa 7:4

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me

(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary;)

Psa 7:5

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

Psa 7:6

Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;

Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,

And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

Psa 7:7

And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about;

And over them return thou on high.

Psa 7:8

Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples:

Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

Psa 7:9

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:

For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

Psa 7:10

My shield is with God,

Who saveth the upright in heart.

Psa 7:11

God is a righteous judge,

Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.

Psa 7:12

If a man turn not, he will whet his sword;

He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;

Psa 7:13

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;

He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.

Psa 7:14

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity;

Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

Psa 7:15

He hath made a pit, and digged it,

And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

Psa 7:16

His mischief shall return upon his own head,

And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

Psa 7:17

I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,

And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.
