Psalms 7

New Living Translation NLT

1 I come to you for protection, O LORD my God. Save me from my persecutors—rescue me!

2 If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice,

4 if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause,

5 then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground and drag my honor in the dust. Interlude

6 Arise, O LORD, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice!

7 Gather the nations before you. Rule over them from on high.

8 The LORD judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O LORD, for I am innocent, O Most High!

9 End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God.

10 God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.

11 God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day.

12 If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.

13 He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows.

14 The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.

15 They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves.

16 The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads.

17 I will thank the LORD because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

New International Version NIV

1 LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me,

2 or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 LORD my God, if I have done this and there is guilt on my hands—

4 if I have repaid my ally with evil 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.

6 Arise, 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, while you sit enthroned over them on high.

8 Let the LORD judge the peoples. Vindicate me, LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High.

9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure— you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts.

10 My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart.

11 God is a righteous judge, a God who displays his wrath every day.

12 If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.

13 He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.

15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit they have made.

16 The trouble they cause recoils on them; their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness; I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.
