Psalm 7

¹O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
³O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
⁵Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
⁶Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
⁸The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
¹⁰My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
¹¹God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
¹²If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
¹⁷I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

3My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
²For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
³Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
⁴So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
⁵Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
⁷Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
¹¹My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:
¹²For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

¹¹Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
¹²That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
¹³But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
¹⁴For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
¹⁵Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
¹⁶And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
¹⁷And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
¹⁸For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
¹⁹Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
²⁰And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
²¹In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
²²In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
