Psalms 7:8-17

⁸(7:9) The Lord will judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity grant me recompense.

⁹(7:10) Oh let the evil of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just, O thou, who triest the hearts and reins, O righteous God.

¹⁰(7:11) My protection is by God, who saveth the upright in heath.

¹¹(7:12) God is a righteous judge, and a God who is indignant with the wicked every day.

¹²(7:13) If he turn not, He will whet his sword, he bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready.

¹³(7:14) Also for him he prepareth the instruments of death; he fashioneth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹⁴(7:15) Behold, he travaileth with wrong doing; but he hath conceived mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.

¹⁵(7:16) He hath hollowed out a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he hath wrought.

¹⁶(7:17) His mischief will return upon his own head, and upon his own skull will his violence come down.

¹⁷(7:18) I will thank the Lord according to his righteousness; and I will sing praises to the name of the Lord the Most High.
