Ps.7:1 O LORD my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,
Ps.7:2 Lest they tear me like a lion, Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Ps.7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done this: If there is iniquity in my hands,
Ps.7:4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, Or have plundered my enemy without cause,
Ps.7:5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust.Selah

Ps.7:11 God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
Ps.7:12 If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.
Ps.7:13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
Ps.7:14 Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
