nsb@Psalms:7:1 @ O Jehovah my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,

nsb@Psalms:7:2 @ or like a lion they will tear me apart. They will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

nsb@Psalms:7:3 @ O Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,

nsb@Psalms:7:4 @ if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause,

nsb@Psalms:7:5 @ then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay me in the dust.

nsb@Psalms:7:6 @ O Jehovah do rise up in your anger. Lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies. Awake O my God. You have pronounced judgment.

nsb@Psalms:7:7 @ Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high.

nsb@Psalms:7:9 @ Let the evil of the wicked come to an end. Establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.

nsb@Psalms:7:11 @ God is a righteous judge and a God who has indignation every day.

nsb@Psalms:7:12 @ If one does not repent God will sharpen his sword. He has bent and strung his bow.

nsb@Psalms:7:13 @ He has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.

nsb@Psalms:7:14 @ See how they conceive evil. They are pregnant with wickedness and give birth to lies.

nsb@Psalms:7:15 @ They dig out a pit and fall into the hole that they have made.

nsb@Psalms:7:16 @ Their mischief returns upon their own heads. Their violence descends on their own heads.
