The Book of Psalms 7

Text size

1 O LORD my God in thee do I put my trust save me from all them that persecute me and deliver me ⚑

2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion rending it in pieces while there is none to deliver ⚑

3 O LORD 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 is mine enemy ⚑

5 Let 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 ⚑

6 Arise 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 ⚑

7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about for their sakes therefore return thou on high ⚑

8 The LORD shall judge the people judge me O LORD according to my righteousness and according to mine integrity that is in me ⚑

9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end but establish the just for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins ⚑

10 My defence is of God which saveth the upright in heart ⚑

11 God judgeth the righteous and God is angry with the wicked every day ⚑

12 If he 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 ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors ⚑

14 Behold he travaileth with iniquity and hath conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood ⚑

15 He 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 violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate ⚑

17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high ⚑
