Psalms 7

1O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי בְּךָ חָסִיתִי הֹושִׁיעֵנִי מִכָּל־רֹדְפַי וְהַצִּילֵנִי׃ (1618)

2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּיל׃ (1722)

3O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂיתִי זֹאת אִם־יֶשׁ־עָוֶל בְּכַפָּי׃ (1880)

4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

אִם־גָּמַלְתִּי שֹׁולְמִי רָע וָאֲחַלְּצָה צֹורְרִי רֵיקָם׃ (2176)

5Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

יִרַדֹּף אֹויֵב ׀ נַפְשִׁי וְיַשֵּׂג וְיִרְמֹס לָאָרֶץ חַיָּי וּכְבֹודִי ׀ לֶעָפָר יַשְׁכֵּן סֶלָה׃ (2640)

6Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

קוּמָה יְהוָה ׀ בְּאַפֶּךָ הִנָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְרֹות צֹורְרָי וְעוּרָה אֵלַי מִשְׁפָּט צִוִּיתָ׃ (3085)

7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

וַעֲדַת לְאֻמִּים תְּסֹובְבֶךָּ וְעָלֶיהָ לַמָּרֹום שׁוּבָה׃ (1841)

8The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

יְהוָה יָדִין עַמִּים שָׁפְטֵנִי יְהוָה כְּצִדְקִי וּכְתֻמִּי עָלָי׃ (1545)

9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

יִגְמָר־נָא רַע ׀ רְשָׁעִים וּתְכֹונֵן צַדִּיק וּבֹחֵן לִבֹּות וּכְלָיֹות אֱלֹהִים צַדִּיק׃ (3196)

10My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

מָגִנִּי עַל־אֱלֹהִים מֹושִׁיעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵב׃ (1267)

11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

אֱלֹהִים שֹׁופֵט צַדִּיק וְאֵל זֹעֵם בְּכָל־יֹום׃ (947)

12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

אִם־לֹא יָשׁוּב חַרְבֹּו יִלְטֹושׁ קַשְׁתֹּו דָרַךְ וַיְכֹונְנֶהָ׃ (2138)

13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

וְלֹו הֵכִין כְּלֵי־מָוֶת חִצָּיו לְדֹלְקִים יִפְעָל׃ (1151)

14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

הִנֵּה יְחַבֶּל־אָוֶן וְהָרָה עָמָל וְיָלַד שָׁקֶר׃ (1173)

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

בֹּור כָּרָה וַיַּחְפְּרֵהוּ וַיִּפֹּל בְּשַׁחַת יִפְעָל׃ (1774)

16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

יָשׁוּב עֲמָלֹו בְרֹאשֹׁו וְעַל קָדְקֳדֹו חֲמָסֹו יֵרֵד׃ (1621)

17I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.

אֹודֶה יְהוָה כְּצִדְקֹו וַאֲזַמְּרָה שֵׁם־יְהוָה עֶלְיֹון׃ (1053)
