Psalms 7:5-15

⁵Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; Yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, And lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

⁶Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, Lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: And awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: For their sakes therefore return thou on high.

⁸The Lord shall judge the people: Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: For the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

¹⁰My defence is of God, Which saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹God judgeth the righteous, And God is angry with the wicked every day.

¹²If he turn not, he will whet his sword; He hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; He ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, And hath conceived mischief, And brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
