Psalm 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 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.
