Psalm 7
NASB Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New American Standard Bible 1995New Living Translation
1A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, in You I have taken refuge; Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,1I come to you for protection, O LORD my God. Save me from my persecutors—rescue me!
2Or he will tear my soul like a lion, Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.2If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3O LORD my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands,3O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice,
4If I have rewarded evil to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,4if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause,
5Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah.5then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground and drag my honor in the dust. Interlude
6Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment.6Arise, O LORD, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice!
7Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And over them return on high.7Gather the nations before you. Rule over them from on high.
8The LORD judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.8The LORD judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O LORD, for I am innocent, O Most High!
9O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous; For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.9End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God.
10My shield is with God, Who saves the upright in heart.10God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.
11God is a righteous judge, And a God who has indignation every day.11God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day.
12If a man does not repent, He will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready.12If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
13He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.13He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows.
14Behold, he travails with wickedness, And he conceives mischief and brings forth falsehood.14The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.
15He has dug a pit and hollowed it out, And has fallen into the hole which he made.15They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves.
16His mischief will return upon his own head, And his violence will descend upon his own pate.16The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads.
17I will give thanks to the LORD according to His righteousness And will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.17I will thank the LORD because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
