Psalms God the Vindicator Wisdom Books
Chapter: 7 Verse: 1-18
[1]A plaintive song of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, the Benjaminite.
I
[2]LORD my God, in you I take refuge; rescue me; save me from all who pursue me,
[3]Lest they maul me like lions, tear me to pieces with none to save.
II
[4]LORD my God, if I am at fault in this, if there is guilt on my hands,
[5]If I have repaid my friend with evil-- I spared even those who hated me without cause--
[6]Then let my enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and leave me dishonored in the dust.Selah
III
[7]Rise up, LORD, in your anger; rise against the fury of my foes. Wake to judge as you have decreed.
[8]Have the assembly of the peoples gather about you; sit on your throne high above them,
[9]O LORD, judge of the nations. Grant me justice, LORD, for I am blameless, free of any guilt.
[10]Bring the malice of the wicked to an end; uphold the innocent, O God of justice, who tries hearts and minds.
IV
[11]A shield before me is God who saves the honest heart.
[12]God is a just judge, who rebukes in anger every day.
[13]If sinners do not repent, God sharpens his sword, strings and readies the bow,
[14]Prepares his deadly shafts, makes arrows blazing thunderbolts.
V
[15]Sinners conceive iniquity; pregnant with mischief, they give birth to failure.
[16]They open a hole and dig it deep, but fall into the pit they have dug.
[17]Their mischief comes back upon themselves; their violence falls on their own heads.
VI
[18]I praise the justice of the LORD; I celebrate the name of the LORD Most High.
