Psa 7:1
A [fn]Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Yahweh H3068 concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.
O Yahweh H3068 my God H430, in You I have taken H2620 refuge H2620;
Save H3467 me from all H3605 those who pursue H7291 me, and deliver H5337 me,
Psa 7:2
Lest H6435 he tear H2963 [fn]my soul H5315 like a lion H738,
Rending H6561 me in pieces H6561, while there H369 is H369 none H369 to deliver H5337.
Psa 7:3
O Yahweh H3068 my God H430, if H518 I have done H6213 this H2088,
If H518 there H3426 is H3426 injustice H5766 in my hands H3709,
Psa 7:4
If H518 I have rewarded H1580 evil H7451 to him who [fn]is at peace H7999 with me H7999,
Or have plundered H2502 my adversary H6887 without H7387 cause H7387,
Psa 7:5
Let the enemy H340 pursue H7291 [fn]my soul H5315 and overtake H5381 [fn]it;
And let him trample H7429 my life H2416 down H7429 to the ground H776
And cause H7931 my glory H3519 to dwell H7931 in the dust H6083. [fn]Selah H5542.
Psa 7:6
Arise H6965, O Yahweh H3068, in Your anger H639;
Lift H5375 up H5375 Yourself against the fury H5678 of my adversaries H6887,
And arouse H5782 Yourself [fn]for me; You have appointed H6680 judgment H4941.
Psa 7:7
Let the congregation H5712 of the peoples H3816 encompass H5437 You,
And over H5921 [fn]them return H7725 on high H4791.
Psa 7:8
Yahweh H3068 judges H1777 the peoples H5971;
[fn]Give H8199 justice H8199 to me, O Yahweh H3068, according to my righteousness H6664 and my integrity H8537 that is in me.
Psa 7:9
O H4994 let the evil H7451 of the wicked H7563 come H1584 to H1584 an H1584 end H1584, but establish H3559 the righteous H6662;
For the righteous H6662 God H430 tests H974 the hearts H3820 and [fn]minds H3629.
Psa 7:10
My shield H4043 is [fn]with God H430,
Who saves H3467 the upright H3477 in heart H3820.
Psa 7:11
God H430 is a righteous H6662 judge H8199,
And a God H410 who has indignation H2194 every H3605 day H3117.
Psa 7:12
If H518 [fn]a man does not repent H7725, He will sharpen H3913 His sword H2719;
He has bent H1869 His bow H7198 and prepared H3559 it.
Psa 7:13
He has also prepared H3559 [fn]for Himself deadly H4194 weapons H3627;
He makes H6466 His arrows H2671 fiery H1814 shafts H1814.
Psa 7:14
Behold H2009, he travails H2254 with wickedness H205,
And he conceives H2029 mischief H5999 and gives H3205 birth H3205 to falsehood H8267.
Psa 7:15
He has dug H3738 a pit H953 and hollowed H2658 it out H2658,
And has fallen H5307 into the hole H7845 which he made H6466.
Psa 7:16
His mischief H5999 will return H7725 upon his own head H7218,
And his violence H2555 will descend H3381 upon [fn]his own skull H6936.
Psa 7:17
I will give H3034 thanks H3034 to Yahweh H3068 according to His righteousness H6664
And will sing H2167 praise H2167 to the name H8034 of Yahweh H3068 Most H5945 High H5945.
