| Psalms 7: (ASV) |
| 1) O Jehovah my God, in thee do I take refuge: Save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me, |
| 2) Lest they tear my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. |
| 3) O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands; |
| 4) If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me (Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary); |
| 5) Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah] |
| 6) Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment. |
| 7) And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high. |
| 8) Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me. |
| 9) Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts. |
| 10) My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart. |
| 11) God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day. |
| 12) If a man turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready; |
| 13) He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He maketh his arrows fiery shafts. |
| 14) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. |
| 15) He hath made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made. |
| 16) His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate. |
| 17) I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High. |
