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.

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.
