Psa 7:1

Psa 7:1A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the [fn]Benjamite. (LXX 7:2) O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

Psa 7:2

Psa 7:2(LXX 7:3) Lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save.

Psa 7:3

Psa 7:3(LXX 7:4) O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands;)

Psa 7:4

Psa 7:4(LXX 7:5) if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies.

Psa 7:5

Psa 7:5(LXX 7:6) Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause.

Psa 7:6

Psa 7:6(LXX 7:7) Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted [fn]in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command.

Psa 7:7

Psa 7:7(LXX 7:8) And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high.

Psa 7:8

Psa 7:8(LXX 7:9) The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.

Psa 7:9

Psa 7:9(LXX 7:10) Oh let the wickedness of sinners come to an end; and then thou shalt direct the righteous, O God that searchest the hearts and reins.

Psa 7:10

Psa 7:10(LXX 7:11) My help is righteous, coming from God who saves the upright in heart.

Psa 7:11

Psa 7:11(LXX 7:12) God is a righteous judge, and strong, and patient, not inflicting vengeance every day.

Psa 7:12

Psa 7:12(LXX 7:13) If ye will not repent, he will furbish his sword; he has bent his bow, and made it ready.

Psa 7:13

Psa 7:13(LXX 7:14) And on it he has fitted the instruments of death; he has completed his arrows for the [fn]raging ones.

Psa 7:14

Psa 7:14(LXX 7:15) Behold, he has travailed with unrighteousness, he has conceived trouble, and brought forth iniquity.

Psa 7:15

Psa 7:15(LXX 7:16) He has opened a pit, and dug it up, and he shall fall into the ditch which he has made.

Psa 7:16

Psa 7:16(LXX 7:17) His trouble shall return on his own head, and his unrighteousness shall come down on his own crown.
