Psalm 7
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- A shiggayon of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush the Benjamite.
- O Lord, my God, I have taken refuge in You; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me.
- Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it to pieces with no one to save [me].
- O Lord, my God, if I have done this, if there is any injustice in my hands;
- if I repaid the one who did evil to me, and I stripped my adversary into emptiness,
- may the enemy pursue my soul and overtake [me] and trample my life to the ground, and cause my soul to rest in the dust forever.
- Arise, O Lord, with Your wrath; exalt Yourself with anger upon my adversaries, and awaken for me the judgment that You commanded.
- And [if] a congregation of kingdoms surrounds You, return on high over them.
- May the Lord judge the peoples; judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and according to my innocence, which is upon me.
- May evil destroy the wicked, and may You establish the righteous, for the righteous God tests the hearts and the reins.
- My shield is upon God, Who saves the upright in heart.
- God is a righteous judge, and God is incensed every day.
- If he does not repent, He will whet His sword; He has trodden His bow and made it ready.
- And He has prepared deadly weapons for him; He will make arrows for pursuers.
- Behold, he travails with iniquity; he conceives mischief, and gives birth to lies.
- He dug a pit and deepened it, and he fell into the pit that he made.
- His mischief will return upon his head, and his violence will descend upon his crown.
- I will thank the Lord according to His righteousness, and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
