Psalms 7

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 A shiggayon of David, which he sang to ADONAI because of Kush the Ben-Y'mini: ADONAI my God, in you I take refuge. Save me from all my pursuers, and rescue me;

2 otherwise, they will maul me like a lion and tear me apart, with no rescuer present.

3 ADONAI my God, if I have caused this, if there is guilt on my hands,

4 if I paid back evil to him who was at peace with me, when I even spared those who opposed me without cause;

5 then let the enemy pursue me until he overtakes me and tramples my life down into the earth; yes, let him lay my honor in the dust. (Selah)

6 Rise up, ADONAI, in your anger! Arouse yourself against the fury of my foes. Wake up for me; you commanded justice.

7 May the assembly of the peoples surround you; may you return to rule over them from on high.

8 ADONAI, who dispenses judgment to the peoples, judge me, ADONAI, according to my righteousness and as my integrity deserves.

9 Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and establish the righteous; since you, righteous God, test hearts and minds.

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

11 God is a righteous judge, a God whose anger is present every day.

12 If a person will not repent, he sharpens his sword. He has bent his bow, made it ready;

13 he has also prepared for him weapons of death, his arrows, which he has made into burning shafts.

14 Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil; he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies.

15 He makes a pit, digs it deep, and falls into the hole he made.

16 His mischief will return onto his own head, his violence will recoil onto his own skull.

17 I thank ADONAI for his righteousness and sing praise to the name of ADONAI 'Elyon.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 <Shiggaion of David; a song which he made to the Lord, about the words of Cush the Benjamite.> O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

2 So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

4 If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

5 Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

6 Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.

7 The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.

8 The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

9 O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

10 God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.

11 God is the judge of the upright, and is angry with the evil-doers every day.

12 If a man is not turned from his evil, he will make his sword sharp; his bow is bent and ready.

13 He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

14 That man is a worker of evil; the seed of wrongdoing has given birth to deceit.

15 He has made a hole deep in the earth, and is falling into the hole which he has made

16 His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head.

17 I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.
