Psalms 7:5-14

⁵If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.

⁶Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.

⁷Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:

⁸And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.

⁹The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, and according to my innocence in me.

¹⁰The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God.

¹¹Just is my help from the Lord: who saveth the upright of heart.

¹²God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day?

¹³Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: he hath bent his bow and made it ready.

¹⁴And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
