Psalm 7

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 O LORD my God, I have taken refuge in you. Save me, and rescue me from all who are pursuing me.

2 Like a lion they will tear me to pieces and drag me off with no one to rescue me.

3 O LORD my God, if I have done this-- if my hands are stained with injustice,

4 if I have paid back my friend with evil or rescued someone who has no reason to attack me--

5 then let the enemy chase me and catch me. Let him trample my life into the ground. Let him lay my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Arise in anger, O LORD. Stand up against the fury of my attackers. Wake up, my God. You have already pronounced judgment.

7 Let an assembly of people gather around you. Take your seat high above them.

8 The LORD judges the people of the world. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity.

9 Let the evil within wicked people come to an end, but make the righteous person secure, O righteous God who examines thoughts and emotions.

10 My shield is God above, who saves those whose motives are decent.

11 God is a fair judge, a God who is angered by injustice every day.

12 If a person does not change, God sharpens his sword. By bending his bow, he makes it ready [to shoot].

13 He prepares his deadly weapons and turns them into flaming arrows.

14 See how that person conceives evil, is pregnant with harm, and gives birth to lies.

15 He digs a pit and shovels it out. Then he falls into the hole that he made [for others].

16 His mischief lands back on his own head. His violence comes down on top of him.

17 I will give thanks to the LORD for his righteousness. I will make music to praise the name of the LORD Most High.

New King James Version NKJV

1 A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,

2 Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands,

4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,

5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded!

7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.

8 The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.

9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

10 My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.

11 God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.

12 If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.

13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.

14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

16 His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
