7:1 {Shiggaion of David, which he sang to Jehovah, concerning the words of Cush the Benjaminite.} Jehovah my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me;
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer.
7:9 Oh let the wrong of the wicked come to an end, and establish thou the righteous [man]; even thou that triest the hearts and reins, the righteousGod.
7:10 My shield is with God, who saveth the upright in heart.
7:11 God is a righteousjudge, and a łGod who is indignant all the day.
7:12 If one turn not, he will sharpen his sword; he hath bent his bow and made it ready,
7:13 And he hath prepared for him instruments of death; his arrows hath he made burning.
7:14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood:
7:15 He digged a pit, and hollowed it out, and is fallen into the hole that he made.
7:16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
