Psalms 7:5-16

⁵allow my enemies to pursue me and capture me. Allow them to trample me into the ground and leave me SYN lying dead in the dirt.

⁶But Yahweh, because you are very angry with those who pursue me, arise and attack/defeat my enemies who are furiously/angrily attacking me Do to them what is just!

⁷Gather around you the people of all nations, and rule them from where you are in heaven MTY.

⁸Yahweh, judge the people of all nations! And, Yahweh, show that I have done nothing that is wrong.

⁹God, you know what every person is thinking, and because you are righteous, you always do what is just/right. So now stop evil people from doing wicked deeds, and defend all of us who are righteous!

¹⁰God, you protect me like a shield protects soldiers MET; you protect all those who are righteous in their inner being.

¹¹You judge everyone correctly, and every day you punish wicked people.

¹²Whenever your enemies do not ◄repent/change their behavior►, it is as though MET you sharpen your sword and put a string on your bow to get ready to kill them.

¹³You are preparing your weapons that kill those whom they strike; the arrows that you will shoot have flaming tips.

¹⁴Wicked people tell lies, and they think that they surely will be able to do MET the evil things that they are planning to do just as surely as a pregnant woman knows that she is going to give birth to a child MET.

¹⁵But when they dig a deep pit to trap others, they themselves will fall into it.

¹⁶They themselves will experience the trouble that they want to cause others to have; they will hurt themselves by the violent things that they want to do to others.
