Psalms 7:3-13

³(7:4) O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be injustice in my hands;

⁴(7:5) If I have recompensed him that was at peace with me with evil; If I have taken aught from my assailants without cause:

⁵(7:6) May the enemy hotly pursue my soul, and overtake it; and tread down upon the earth my life, and cause my honor to be in the dust. Selah.

⁶(7:7) Arise, O Lord, in thy anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of my enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁷(7:8) So shall the congregation of nations compass thee about: and for their sakes return thou to the height.

⁸(7:9) The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity grant me recompense.

⁹(7:10) Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.

¹⁰(7:11) My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.

¹¹(7:12) God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant with the wicked every day.

¹²(7:13) If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.

¹³(7:14) Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.
