Psalms 7:2-11

²Otherwise, they will rip me apart like a lion, tearing me in pieces with no one else able to bring me to safety.

³Yahweh my God, if I have done this, and there is guilt on my hands—

⁴if I have done evil to him who was at peace with me, or senselessly harmed my enemy without cause, then hear my words.

⁵Then let my enemy pursue my life and overtake me; let him trample my life to the ground and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

⁶Arise, Yahweh, in your anger; stand up against the rage of my enemies; wake up for my sake and carry out the righteous decrees that you have commanded for them.

⁷The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them.

⁸Yahweh, judge the nations; vindicate me, Yahweh, because I am righteous and innocent, Most High.

⁹May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous people, righteous God, you who examine hearts and minds.

¹⁰My shield comes from God, the one who saves the upright in heart.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, a God who is indignant each day.
