Psalms 7:1-2

In You Do I Take Refuge

A ^aShiggaion ^{▼▼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 ^ctake refuge;
^dsave me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
2 lest like ^ea lion they tear my soul apart,
rending it in pieces, with ^fnone to deliver.

Psalms 17:9-13

9 from the wicked who do me violence,
my deadly enemies who ^gsurround me.
10 ^hThey close their hearts to pity;
with their mouths they ⁱspeak arrogantly.
11 They have now surrounded our ^jsteps;
they set their eyes to ^kcast us to the ground.
12 He is like a lion eager to tear,
as a young lion ^llurking in ambush.
13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him!
Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,

Psalms 35:4

4 ^mLet them be ⁿput to shame and dishonor
who seek after my life!
Let them be ^oturned back and disappointed
who devise evil against me!

Psalms 54:3

3 ^pFor ^qstrangers ^{▼▼Some Hebrew manuscripts and Targum insolent men (compare Psalm 86:14)} have risen against me;
ruthless men ^sseek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah

Psalms 142:6

6 ^tAttend to my cry,
for ^uI am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
^vfor they are too strong for me!
