Shiggalon of David, [that] he sang to the Lord, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite |
Psalm 7:1-17 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O Lord, my God, in You I do put my trust. Deliver me & save me from all [those who] persecute me: lest he tear my soul like a lion, [tearing] it in pieces, while there [are] none to deliver. [Psalm 31:15 My times are in Your hand. Deliver me from the hand of [my] enemies & from [those who] persecute me.] |
O Lord, my God, if I have done this & if there [is sin] in my hands, if I have rewarded evil [to] him, [who] was at peace with me, ([Yes,] I have delivered him, [who is my] enemy without cause.) |
Let the enemy persecute my soul & take it. Let him [trample] down my life on earth & lay [my] honor in the [dirt.] Selah. Arise, O Lord, in Your anger. Lift Yourself up, because of the rage of [my] enemies. |
[Awaken] me to the judgment You have commanded [for me.] [Psalm 35:23 Stir Yourself up & [awaken] to my judgment, even to my [case,] my God & my Lord.] So shall the congregation of the people [surround around] You. Therefore, You return on high, for their sakes. |
The Lord shall judge the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness & [my] integrity, that is [within] me. [Psalm 43:1 Judge me, O God & plead my [case] against an ungodly nation. O deliver me from the deceitful & unjust man.] |
Oh, let the [sinfulness] of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just. For God [tests] the hearts & [minds of] the righteous. My defense is [from] God, [Who] saves [those] with upright [hearts.] |
God judges the righteous & God is angry with the wicked every day. If he [doesn't return, God] will [sharpen] His sword. He has bent His bow & made it ready. |
[Isaiah 51:11 Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return & come with singing to Zion. And everlasting joy shall be upon their [heads.] They shall obtain gladness & joy & sorrow & mourning shall flee away.] |
[God] has also prepared the instruments of death for him. He [directs] His arrows against the persecutors. [Look,] he [who labors with sin] & has conceived mischief [that causes harm] & is [delivered] by [falsehood.] |
[Isaiah 59:4 None call for justice, nor any plead for truth. They trust in vanity & speak lies. They conceive mischief & [deliver] iniquity.] He made a pit & [dug] it & [has] fallen into the ditch [that] he made. |
[Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, [those who] plow iniquity & sow wickedness, [harvest] the same.] His mischief shall return upon his own head & his violent [behavior] shall come down upon his own [head.] |
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness & will sing praise to the Name of the Lord Most High. |
