Psalms 7:6-16

⁶Arise, O LORD! in thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment!

⁷Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height!

⁸The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity!

⁹Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins.

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

¹¹God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day.

¹²If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready;

¹³He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows.

¹⁴Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment!

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

¹⁶His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull.
