Psalm 7
NET Parallel ISV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleInternational Standard Version
1A musical composition by David, which he sang to the LORD concerning a Benjaminite named Cush. O LORD my God, in you I have taken shelter. Deliver me from all who chase me! Rescue me! 1LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!
2Otherwise they will rip me to shreds like a lion; they will tear me to bits and no one will be able to rescue me. 2Otherwise, they will rip me to shreds like a lion, tearing me apart with no one to rescue me.
3O LORD my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions, 3LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is injustice on my hands,
4or have wronged my ally, or helped his lawless enemy, 4if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,
5may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored in the dust. (Selah) 5then, let my enemy pursue me, let him overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground. Interlude Let him put my honor into the dust.
6Stand up angrily, LORD! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them! 6Get up, LORD, in your anger! Rise up, because of the fury of my enemies; Arouse yourself for me; you have ordained justice.
7The countries are assembled all around you; take once more your rightful place over them! 7Let the assembly of the peoples gather around you, and you will sit high above them.
8The LORD judges the nations. Vindicate me, LORD, because I am innocent, because I am blameless, O Exalted One! 8For the LORD will judge the peoples. Judge me according to my righteousness, LORD, and according to my integrity, Exalted One.
9May the evil deeds of the wicked come to an end! But make the innocent secure, O righteous God, you who examine inner thoughts and motives! 9Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. For you are the righteous God who discerns the inner thoughts.
10The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright. 10God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright in heart.
11God is a just judge; he is angry throughout the day. 11God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry with sinners every day.
12If a person does not repent, God sharpens his sword and prepares to shoot his bow. 12If the ungodly one doesn't repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and prepare it.
13He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows. 13He prepares weapons of death for himself, he makes his arrows into fiery shafts.
14See the one who is pregnant with wickedness, who conceives destructive plans, and gives birth to harmful lies--14But the wicked one travails with evil, he conceives malice and gives birth to lies.
15he digs a pit and then falls into the hole he has made. 15He digs a pit, even excavates it; then he fell into the hole that he had made.
16He becomes the victim of his own destructive plans and the violence he intended for others falls on his own head. 16The trouble he planned will return on his own head, and his violence will descend on his skull.
17I will thank the LORD for his justice; I will sing praises to the sovereign LORD! 17But as for me, I will praise the LORD for his righteousness, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.
