Psalms [Praises] 7:6-17

⁶Arise, Adonai , in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have enjoined judgment.

⁷Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.

⁸Adonai administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Adonai , according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the upright; their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

¹⁰My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

¹¹God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.

¹²If a man does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has bent and strung his bow.

¹³He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

¹⁴Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

¹⁵He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.

¹⁶The trouble he causes shall teshuvah ·completely return· to his own head. His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

¹⁷I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai according to his righteousness, and will make zahmar ·musical praise· to the name of Adonai Most High.
