Psalm 7

Plea for Help against Persecutors

A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.
¹ O Lord my God, in you I take refuge;
   save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,
² or like a lion they will tear me apart;
   they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

⁸ The Lord judges the peoples;
   judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
   and according to the integrity that is in me.

⁹ O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
   but establish the righteous,
you who test the minds and hearts,
   O righteous God.
¹⁰ God is my shield,
   who saves the upright in heart.
