Psalms:7-8

Seeker Overlay ON

* O LORD my God , in thee do I put my trust : save me from all them that persecute me , and deliver me : * Lest he tear my soul like a lion , rending it in pieces , while there is none to deliver . * O LORD my God , if I have done this ; if there be iniquity in my hands ; * If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me ; (yea , I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy :) * Let the enemy persecute my soul , and take it ; yea , let him tread down my life upon the earth , and lay mine honour in the dust . Selah . * Arise , O LORD , in thine anger , lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies : and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded . * So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about : for their sakes therefore return thou on high . * The LORD shall judge the people : judge me , O LORD , according to my righteousness , and according to mine integrity that is in me . * Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end ; but establish the just : for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins . * My defence is of God , which saveth the upright in heart . * God judgeth the righteous , and God is angry with the wicked every day . * If he turn not , he will whet his sword ; he hath bent his bow , and made it ready . * He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death ; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors . * Behold , he travaileth with iniquity , and hath conceived mischief , and brought forth falsehood . * He made a pit , and digged it , and is fallen into the ditch which he made . * His mischief shall return upon his own head , and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate . * I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness : and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high . * O LORD our Lord , how excellent is thy name in all the earth ! who hast set thy glory above the heavens . * Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies , that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger . * When I consider thy heavens , the work of thy fingers , the moon and the stars , which thou hast ordained ; * What is man , that thou art mindful of him ? and the son of man , that thou visitest him ? * For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels , and hast crowned him with glory and honour . * Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands ; thou hast put all things under his feet : * All sheep and oxen , yea , and the beasts of the field ; * The fowl of the air , and the fish of the sea , and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas . * O LORD our Lord , how excellent is thy name in all the earth ! * I will praise thee , O LORD , with my whole heart ; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works .
