Psalms 7

PSALM 7

1 For the ignorance of David, which he sang to the Lord, on the words of Ethiopian, the son of Benjamin. My Lord God, I have hoped in thee; make thou me safe from all that pursue me, and deliver thou me.

2Lest any time he as a lion ravish my soul; while none there is that again-buyeth, neither that maketh safe.

3My Lord God, if I did this thing, if wickedness is in mine hands, or works;

4if I yielded to men yielding to me evils, fall I by deserving void from mine enemies;

5mine enemy pursue he my soul, and take he, and defoul my life in earth; and bring my glory into dust.

6Lord, rise thou up in thine ire; and be thou raised up in the coasts of mine enemies. And, my Lord God, rise thou up in the commandment, which thou hast commanded;

7and the synagogue of peoples shall encompass thee. And for this go thou again on high;

8the Lord deemeth peoples. Lord, deem thou me by my rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; and by mine innocence on me.

9The wickedness of sinners be ended; and thou, God, seeking the hearts, that is, thoughts, and reins, that is, delightings, shall dress a just [or rightwise] man.

10My just [or rightwise] help is of the Lord; that maketh safe rightful men in heart.

11The Lord is a just [or rightwise] judge, strong and patient; whether he is wroth by all days?

12If ye be not converted, he shall flourish his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

13And therein he hath made ready the vessels of death; he hath fully made his arrows with burning things.

14Lo! the wicked hath conceived sorrow; he painfully hath brought forth unrightfulness [or unrightwiseness], and he hath childed wickedness.

15He opened a pit, and digged it out; and he fell into the ditch which he made.

16His sorrow shall be turned into his head; and his wickedness shall come down into his neck.

17I shall acknowledge to the Lord by his rightfulness [or rightwiseness]; and I shall sing to the name of the highest Lord.
