Psalms 7

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 <The psalm of David, which he sung to the Lord, for the words of Chusi, the son of Jemini.> (7-2) O Lord, my God, in thee have I put my trust; same me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

2 (7-3) Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.

3 (7-4) O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in my hands:

4 (7-5) If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

5 (7-6) Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life, on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.

6 (7-7) Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord, my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:

7 (7-8) And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.

8 (7-9) The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.

9 (7-10) The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought; and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God. Just

10 (7-11) Is my help from the Lord; who saveth the upright of heart.

11 (7-12) God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

12 (7-13) Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

13 (7-14) And in it he hath prepared to instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.

14 (7-15) Behold he hath been in labour with injustice: he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.

15 (7-16) He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole he made.

16 (7-17) His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.

17 (7-18) I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

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.
