Psalms 7

LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me,

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

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

LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

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

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

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

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

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

Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

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

Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

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

The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

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

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

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

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

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

God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

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

If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

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

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

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

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

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

He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

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

The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

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

I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

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