Psalms 7:1-12

O LORD my God, in You I take refuge; Save me and rescue me from all those who pursue me, So that my enemy will not tear me like a lion, Dragging me away while there is no one to rescue [me]. ¶O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands, If I have done evil to him who was at peace with me, Or without cause robbed him who was my enemy, Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; And let him trample my life to the ground And lay my honor in the dust. Selah. ¶Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me; You have commanded judgment and vindication. Let the assembly of the nations be gathered around You, And return on high over them. The LORD judges the peoples; Judge me, O LORD, and grant me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity within me. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous [those in right standing with You]; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds. [Rev 2:23] My shield and my defense depend on God, Who saves the upright in heart. God is a righteous judge, And a God who is indignant every day. ¶If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.
