Psalm 7

¹O Lord my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,

²or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

³O Lord my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

⁴if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause,

⁵then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. Selah

⁶Rise up, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.

⁷Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high.

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

⁹O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.

¹⁰God is my shield, who saves the upright in heart.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.
