Psalms 7:1-11

¹For the ignorance of David, which he sang to the Lord, on the words of Ethiopian, the son of Benjamin. My Lord God, I have hoped in thee; make thou me safe from all that pursue me, and deliver thou me.

²Lest any time he as a lion ravish my soul; while none there is that again-buyeth, neither that maketh safe.

³My Lord God, if I did this thing, if wickedness is in mine hands, or works;

⁴if I yielded to men yielding to me evils, fall I by deserving void from mine enemies;

⁵mine enemy pursue he my soul, and take he, and defoul my life in earth; and bring my glory into dust.

⁶Lord, rise thou up in thine ire; and be thou raised up in the coasts of mine enemies. And, my Lord God, rise thou up in the commandment, which thou hast commanded;

⁷and the synagogue of peoples shall encompass thee. And for this go thou again on high;

⁸the Lord deemeth peoples. Lord, deem thou me by my rightfulness or rightwiseness; and by mine innocence on me.

⁹The wickedness of sinners be ended; and thou, God, seeking the hearts, that is, thoughts, and reins, that is, delightings, shall dress a just or rightwise man.

¹⁰My just or rightwise help is of the Lord; that maketh safe rightful men in heart.

¹¹The Lord is a just or rightwise judge, strong and patient; whether he is wroth by all days?
