Psalms 7:1-8
1
Psalm 7
A shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.
O Lord my God, I take refuge in you;
save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
2
or they will tear me like a lion
and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3
O Lord my God, if I have done this
and there is guilt on my hands—
4
if I have done evil to him who is at peace with me
or without cause have robbed my foe—
5
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
let him trample my life to the ground
and make me sleep in the dust. Selah
6
Arise, O Lord, in your anger;
rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.
7
Let the assembled peoples gather around you.
Rule over them from on high;
8
let the Lord judge the peoples.
Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.
