Psalms 7:5-16

⁵Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.

⁷And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.

⁸Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.

¹⁰My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.

¹²If a man 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 maketh his arrows fiery shafts.

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

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

¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
