Psalms 7:1-17 — A Prayer for Justice
Ps.7.1-17
1A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush , a Benjamite. 2O LORD my God, in You I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me, 3lest he tear my soul like a lion, ripping it apart, with no one to deliver. 4O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is injustice in my hands, 5if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me, or plundered my adversary without cause, 6let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; let him trample my life to the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah. 7Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; lift Yourself up against the fury of my adversaries. Awake for me; You have commanded judgment. 8Let the assembly of the peoples surround You, and return on high over them. 9The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to my integrity that is in me. 10Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and establish the righteous; for the righteous God tests hearts and inmost beings . 11My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart. 12God is a righteous judge, and a God who feels indignation every day. 13If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready. 14He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts. 15Behold, he travails with iniquity; he conceives trouble and gives birth to falsehood. 16He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, and has fallen into the hole that he made. 17His trouble will return upon his own head, and his violence will descend upon the crown of his head.
