Psalm 7

New Century Version NCV

1 Lord my God, I trust in you for protection. Save me and rescue me from those who are chasing me.

2 Otherwise, like a lion they will tear me apart. They will rip me to pieces, and no one can save me.

3 Lord my God, what have I done? Have my hands done something wrong?

4 Have I done wrong to my friend or stolen without reason from my enemy?

5 If I have, let my enemy chase me and capture me. Let him trample me into the dust and bury me in the ground.Selah

6 Lord, rise up in your anger; stand up against my enemies' anger. Get up and demand fairness.

7 Gather the nations around you and rule them from above.

8 Lord, judge the people. Lord, defend me because I am right, because I have done no wrong, God Most High.

9 God, you do what is right. You know our thoughts and feelings. Stop those wicked actions done by evil people, and help those who do what is right.

10 God protects me like a shield; he saves those whose hearts are right.

11 God judges by what is right, and God is always ready to punish the wicked.

12 If they do not change their lives, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and take aim.

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

14 There are people who think up evil and plan trouble and tell lies.

15 They dig a hole to trap others, but they will fall into it themselves.

16 They will get themselves into trouble; the violence they cause will hurt only themselves.

17 I praise the Lord because he does what is right. I sing praises to the Lord Most High. For the director of music. On the gittith. A psalm of David.

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.
