Psalms 7:5-15

⁵(7-6) Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶(7-7) Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.

⁷(7-8) And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.

⁸(7-9) O LORD, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹(7-10) Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous God trieth the heart and reins.

¹⁰(7-11) My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹(7-12) God is a righteous judge, yea, a God that hath indignation every day:

¹²(7-13) If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;

¹³(7-14) He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.

¹⁴(7-15) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.

¹⁵(7-16) He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
