Psalm 7

A shiggaion[a] by David; he sang it to Yahweh about the slanderous words of Cush, a descendant of Benjamin.

O Yahweh my Elohim, I have taken refuge in you.
    Save me, and rescue me from all who are pursuing me.
        Like a lion they will tear me to pieces
            and drag me off with no one to rescue me.
