Psalms 7:7-17

⁷And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

⁸Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

⁹Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

¹⁰My shield is on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

¹¹God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

¹²If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden — He prepareth it,

¹³Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

¹⁴Lo, he travaileth with iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

¹⁶Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

¹⁷I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
