KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 7
David prays against the malice of his enemies. By faith he sees his defense, and the destruction of his enemies. A song of David, which he sang to Jehovah on the words of Cush the Benjamite.
1A song of David, which he sang to Jehovah on the words of Cush the Benjamite. O Jehovah my God, I seek refuge in You; save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me,
2lest he tear my soul like a lion, ripping, and there be no one to deliver.
3O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my palms,
4if I have repaid evil to one at peace with me or I have plundered one pressing me without cause,
5let the enemy pursue and overtake my soul; yea, trample down my life to earth, and lay my honor in the dust. Selah.
6Arise, O Jehovah, in Your anger; be lifted up at the rage of the one distressing me; and awake for me! You have commanded judgment.
7And the assembly of the peoples shall surround You, and over it You will return on high;
8Jehovah will judge the people. O Jehovah, judge me according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity on me.
9I pray, let the evil of the wicked ones come to an end, and You will establish the righteous one, for the righteous God is a trier of hearts and reins.
10My defense is on God, who saves the upright of heart.
11God is a righteous judge; and God is angry with evildoers every day.
12If he will not turn, He will whet His sword; He has trod His bow, He makes it ready;
13yea, He has fitted for him instruments of death. He will make His arrows hotly pursue him.
14Behold, he is bound with iniquity and he will conceive mischief; and he has fathered falsehood.
15He dug a pit and bored it, and has fallen into the pit he made.
16His mischief shall turn back on his own head, and his violence shall come down on his own crown.
17I will thank Jehovah according to His righteousness and will praise the name of Jehovah most high.
