rsv Psalms:7 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A Shiggaion of David ,
which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush a Benjaminite .
*
O LORD my God ,
in thee do I take refuge ;
save me from all my pursuers ,
and deliver me ,
*
lest like a lion they rend me ,
dragging me away ,
with none to rescue .
*
O LORD my God ,
if I have done this ,
if there is wrong in my hands ,
*
if I have requited my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause ,
*
let the enemy pursue me and overtake me ,
and let him trample my life to the ground ,
and lay my soul in the dust . [
Selah ]
*
Arise ,
O LORD ,
in thy anger ,
lift thyself up against the fury of my enemies ;
awake ,
O my God ;
thou hast appointed a judgment .
*
Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about thee ;
and over it take thy seat on high .
*
The LORD judges the peoples ;
judge me ,
O LORD ,
according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me .
*
O let the evil of the wicked come to an end ,
but establish thou the righteous ,
thou who triest the minds and hearts ,
thou righteous God .
*
My shield is with God ,
who saves the upright in heart .
*
God is a righteous judge ,
and a God who has indignation every day .
*
If a man does not repent ,
God will whet his sword ;
he has bent and strung his bow ;
*
he has prepared his deadly weapons ,
making his arrows fiery shafts .
*
Behold ,
the wicked man conceives evil ,
and is pregnant with mischief ,
and brings forth lies .
*
He makes a pit ,
digging it out ,
and falls into the hole which he has made .
*
His mischief returns upon his own head ,
and on his own pate his violence descends . [ (
Psalms strkjv @
7:18 )
I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness ,
and I will sing praise to the name of the LORD ,
the Most High . ]
