Psalms 7:1-9
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,
2lest like ea lion they tear my soul apart,
rending it in pieces, with fnone to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, gif I have done this,
if there is hwrong in my hands,
4if I have repaid imy friend ▼
▼Hebrew the one at peace with me
with evilor kplundered my enemy without cause,
5let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
and let him ltrample my life to the ground
and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
6 mArise, O Lord, in your anger;
nlift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
oawake 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 pjudges the peoples;
qjudge 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 rtest sthe minds and hearts, ▼
▼Hebrew the hearts and kidneys
O righteous God!
