Chapter 7

1


 

  Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,  

 

 

--

2


 

  Lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,  

 

 

--

4


 

  If I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (Yes, I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),  

 

 

--

5


 

  Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah.  

 

 

--

6


 

  Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.  

 

 

--

7


 

  Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, And to my integrity that is in me.  

 

 

--

9


 

  Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the righteous; Their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.  

 

 

--

10


 

  My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.  

 

 

--

11


 

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

 

 

--

12


 

  If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword; He has bent and strung his bow.  

 

 

--

13


 

  He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Behold, he travails with iniquity; Yes, he has conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.  

 

 

--

15


 

  He has dug a hole, And has fallen into the pit which he made.  

 

 

--

16


 

  The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.  

 

 

--

17


 

  I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High. Psalm 8 For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath. A Psalm by David.
