Psalms 7

In You Do I Take Refuge

A dShiggaion
Probably a musical or liturgical term
of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.

1 O Lord my God, in you do I ftake refuge;
gsave me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
2lest like ha lion they tear my soul apart,
rending it in pieces, with inone to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, jif I have done this,
if there is kwrong in my hands,
4if I have repaid lmy friend
Hebrew the one at peace with me
with evil
or nplundered my enemy without cause,
5let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
and let him otrample my life to the ground
and lay my glory in the dust.  Selah
6 pArise, O Lord, in your anger;
qlift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
rawake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
7Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;
over it return on high.
8 The Lord sjudges the peoples;
tjudge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
and according to the integrity that is in me.
9Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
and may you establish the righteous
you who utest vthe minds and hearts,
Hebrew  the hearts and kidneys

O righteous God!
10My shield is xwith God,
who saves ythe upright in heart.
11God is za righteous judge,
and a God who feels aaindignation every day.
12 If a man
Hebrew he
does not repent, God
Hebrew he
will adwhet his sword;
he has aebent and afreadied his bow;
13he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,
making his agarrows ahfiery shafts.
14Behold, the wicked man aiconceives evil
and is ajpregnant with mischief
and gives birth to lies.
15He makes aka pit, digging it out,
and falls into the hole that he has made.
16His almischief returns upon his own head,
and on his own skull his violence descends.
17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
and I will amsing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
