Psalms 7:1-17 ASV14 - Bible AI

¹Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Yahweh my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

²Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

³O Yahweh my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);

⁵Let 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)

⁶Arise, O Yahweh, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

⁷And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

⁸Yahweh ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

¹⁰My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.

¹²If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;

¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery [shafts].

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁷I will give thanks unto Yahweh according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
