7:1 Shiggaion 7692 of David 1732, which he sang 7891 8804 unto the LORD 3068, concerning the words 1697 of Cush 3568 the Benjamite 1121 1145. O LORD 3068 my God 430, in thee do I put my trust 2620 8804: save 3467 8685 me from all them that persecute 7291 8802 me, and deliver 5337 8685 me:(words: or, business)

7:2 Lest he tear 2963 8799 my soul 5315 like a lion 738, rending [it] in pieces 6561 8802, while [there is] none to deliver 5337 8688.(none…: Heb. not a deliverer)

7:3 O LORD 3068 my God 430, if I have done 6213 8804 this; if there be 3426 iniquity 5766 in my hands 3709;

7:4 If I have rewarded 1580 8804 evil 7451 unto him that was at peace 7999 8802 with me; (yea, I have delivered 2502 8762 him that without cause 7387 is mine enemy 6887 8802:)

7:5 Let the enemy 341 8802 persecute 7291 8762 my soul 5315, and take 5381 8686 [it]; yea, let him tread down 7429 8799 my life 2416 upon the earth 776, and lay 7931 8686 mine honour 3519 in the dust 6083. Selah 5542.

7:6 Arise 6965 8798, O LORD 3068, in thine anger 639, lift up 5375 8734 thyself because of the rage 5678 of mine enemies 6887 8802: and awake 5782 8798 for me [to] the judgment 4941 [that] thou hast commanded 6680 8765.

7:7 So shall the congregation 5712 of the people 3816 compass thee about 5437 8779: for their sakes therefore return 7725 8798 thou on high 4791.

7:8 The LORD 3068 shall judge 1777 8799 the people 5971: judge 8199 8798 me, O LORD 3068, according to my righteousness 6664, and according to mine integrity 8537 [that is] in me.

7:9 Oh let the wickedness 7451 of the wicked 7563 come to an end 1584 8799; but establish 3559 8787 the just 6662: for the righteous 6662 God 430 trieth 974 8802 the hearts 3826 and reins 3629.

7:10 My defence 4043 [is] of God 430, which saveth 3467 8688 the upright 3477 in heart 3820.(My…: Heb. My buckler is upon God)

7:11 God 430 judgeth 8199 8802 the righteous 6662, and God 410 is angry 2194 8802 [with the wicked] every day 3117.(judgeth…: or, is a righteous judge)

7:12 If he turn 7725 8799 not, he will whet 3913 8799 his sword 2719; he hath bent 1869 8804 his bow 7198, and made it ready 3559 8787.

7:13 He hath also prepared 3559 8689 for him the instruments 3627 of death 4194; he ordaineth 6466 8799 his arrows 2671 against the persecutors 1814 8801.

7:14 Behold, he travaileth 2254 8762 with iniquity 205, and hath conceived 2029 8804 mischief 5999, and brought forth 3205 8804 falsehood 8267.

7:15 He made 3738 8804 a pit 953, and digged 2658 8799 it, and is fallen 5307 8799 into the ditch 7845 [which] he made 6466 8799.(He made a pit: Heb. He hath digged a pit)

7:16 His mischief 5999 shall return 7725 8799 upon his own head 7218, and his violent 2555 dealing shall come down 3381 8799 upon his own pate 6936.
