Psalms 7:1-8 A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Chusi the Benjamite. O Lord my God, in thee have I trusted: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me. ² Lest at any time the enemy seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save. ³ O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands;) ⁴ if I have requited with evil those who requited me with good; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies. ⁵ Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause. ⁶ Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; be exalted in the utmost boundaries of mine enemies: awake, O Lord my God, according to the decree which thou didst command. ⁷ And the congregation of the nations shall compass thee: and for this cause do thou return on high. ⁸ The Lord shall judge the nations: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my innocence that is in me.
