7
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD; concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite.
1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that pursue 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 was mine adversary:)
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
6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries: and awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
7 And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about: and over them return thou on high.
8 The LORD ministereth judgment to the peoples: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My shield is with God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
12 If a man 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 maketh his arrows fiery shafts.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He hath 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 violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will give thanks unto the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
