Psalms 7

CEB

NRS

1 I take refuge in you, LORD, my God. Save me from all who chase me! Rescue me!
1 O Lord my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
2 Otherwise, they will rip me apart, dragging me off with no chance of rescue.
2 or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.
3 LORD, my God, if I have done this— if my hands have done anything wrong,
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid a friend with evil or oppressed a foe for no reason—
4 if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause,
5 then let my enemy not only chase but catch me, trampling my life into the ground, laying my reputation in the dirt. Selah
5 then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. (Selah)
6 Get up, LORD; get angry! Stand up against the fury of my foes! Wake up, my God; you command that justice be done!
6 Rise up, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.
7 Let the assembled peoples surround you. Rule them from on high!
7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high.
8 The LORD will judge the peoples. Establish justice for me, LORD, according to my righteousness and according to my integrity.
8 The Lord judges the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be over, but set the righteous firmly in place because you, the righteous God, are the one who examines hearts and minds.
9 O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.
10 God is my shield; he saves those whose heart is right.
10 God is my shield, who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry at evil every single day.
11 God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.
12 If someone doesn't change their ways, God will sharpen his sword, will bend his bow, will string an arrow.
12 If one does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow;
13 God has deadly weapons in store for those who won't change; he gets his flaming arrows ready!
13 he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.
14 But look how the wicked hatch evil, conceive trouble, give birth to lies!
14 See how they conceive evil, and are pregnant with mischief, and bring forth lies.
15 They make a pit, dig it all out, and then fall right into the hole that they've made!
15 They make a pit, digging it out, and fall into the hole that they have made.
16 The trouble they cause will come back on their own heads; the violence they commit will come down on their own skulls.
16 Their mischief returns upon their own heads, and on their own heads their violence descends.
17 But I will thank the LORD for his righteousness; I will sing praises to the name of the LORD Most High.
17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
