# Psalms 7

[1](#verse-1) LORD, my God, I take refuge in you. Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

[2](#verse-2) lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

[3](#verse-3) LORD, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,

[4](#verse-4) if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

[5](#verse-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](#verse-6) Arise, LORD, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

[7](#verse-7) Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

[8](#verse-8) The LORD administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

[9](#verse-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](#verse-10) My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

[11](#verse-11) God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

[12](#verse-12) If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

[13](#verse-13) He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

[14](#verse-14) Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

[15](#verse-15) He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

[16](#verse-16) The trouble he causes shall return to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

[17](#verse-17) I will give thanks to the LORD according to his righteousness, and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
