Psalm 7

New American Standard Bible

³ O Lord my God, if I have done this,
If there is ^(D)injustice in my hands,
⁴ If I have ^(E)done evil to ^[d]my friend,
Or have ^(F)plundered ^[e]my enemy for no reason,
⁵ Let the enemy pursue ^[f]my soul and overtake ^[g]it;
And let him trample my life to the ground
And lay my glory in the dust. Selah

^6 (G)Arise, Lord, in Your anger;
^(H)Raise Yourself against ^(I)the rage of my enemies,
And ^(J)stir Yourself ^[h]for me; You have ordered judgment.
⁷ Let the assembly of the ^(K)peoples encompass You,
And return on high over it.
⁸ The Lord ^(L)judges the peoples;
^[i](M)Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
⁹ Please let ^(N)the evil of the wicked come to an end, but ^(O)establish the righteous;
For the righteous God ^(P)puts hearts and ^[j]minds to the test.
¹⁰ My ^(Q)shield is ^[k]with God,
Who ^(R)saves the upright in heart.
¹¹ God is a ^(S)righteous judge,
And a God who ^(T)shows indignation every day.

¹² If one ^(U)does not repent, He will ^(V)sharpen His sword;
He has ^(W)bent His bow and taken aim.
¹³ He has also prepared deadly weapons for Himself;
He makes His ^(X)arrows fiery shafts.
¹⁴ Behold, an evil person is pregnant with injustice,
And he ^(Y)conceives harm and gives birth to lies.
¹⁵ He has dug a pit and hollowed it out,
And has ^(Z)fallen into the hole which he made.
¹⁶ His ^(AA)harm will return on his own head,
And his ^(AB)violence will descend on the top of his own head.

¹⁷ I will give thanks to the Lord ^(AC)according to His righteousness
And will ^(AD)sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
