Psalms 7:2-10

²So that he may not come rushing on my soul like a lion, wounding it, while there is no one to be my saviour.

³O Lord my God, if I have done this; if my hands have done any wrong;

⁴If I have given back evil to him who did evil to me, or have taken anything from him who was against me without cause;

⁵Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)

⁶Come up, Lord, in your wrath; be lifted up against my haters; be awake, my God, give orders for the judging.

⁷The meeting of the nations will be round you; take your seat, then, over them, on high.

⁸The Lord will be judge of the peoples; give a decision for me, O Lord, because of my righteousness, and let my virtue have its reward.

⁹O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

¹⁰God, who is the saviour of the upright in heart, is my breastplate.
