7:1 `The
Erring
One,'
by
David,
that
he
sung
to
Jehovah
concerning
the
words
of
Cush
a
Benjamite.
O
Jehovah,
my
God,
in
Thee
I
have
trusted,
Save
me
from
all
my
pursuers,
and
deliver
me.
7:2 Lest
he
tear
as
a
lion
my
soul,
Rending,
and
there
is
no
deliverer.
7:3 O
Jehovah,
my
God,
if
I
have
done
this,
If
there
is
iniquity
in
my
hands,
7:4 If
I
have
done
my
well-wisher
evil,
And
draw
mine
adversary
without
cause,
7:5 An
enemy
pursueth
my
soul,
and
overtaketh,
And
treadeth
down
to
the
earth
my
life,
And
my
honour
placeth
in
the
dust.
Selah.
7:6 Rise,
O
Jehovah,
in
Thine
anger,
Be
lifted
up
at
the
wrath
of
mine
adversaries,
And
awake
Thou
for
me:
Judgment
Thou
hast
commanded:
7:7 And
a
company
of
peoples
compass
Thee,
And
over
it
on
high
turn
Thou
back,
7:8 Jehovah
doth
judge
the
peoples;
Judge
me,
O
Jehovah,
According
to
my
righteousness,
And
according
to
mine
integrity
on
me,
7:9 Let,
I
pray
Thee
be
ended
the
evil
of
the
wicked,
And
establish
Thou
the
righteous,
And
a
trier
of
hearts
and
reins
is
the
righteous
God.
7:10 My
shield
[is]
on
God,
Saviour
of
the
upright
in
heart!
7:11 God
[is]
a
righteous
judge,
And
He
is
not
angry
at
all
times.
7:12 If
[one]
turn
not,
His
sword
he
sharpeneth,
His
bow
he
hath
trodden--He
prepareth
it,
7:13 Yea,
for
him
He
hath
prepared
Instruments
of
death,
His
arrows
for
burning
pursuers
He
maketh.
7:14 Lo,
he
travaileth
[with]
iniquity,
And
he
hath
conceived
perverseness,
And
hath
brought
forth
falsehood.
7:15 A
pit
he
hath
prepared,
and
he
diggeth
it,
And
he
falleth
into
a
ditch
he
maketh.
7:16 Return
doth
his
perverseness
on
his
head,
And
on
his
crown
his
violence
cometh
down.
7:17 I
thank
Jehovah,
According
to
His
righteousness,
And
praise
the
name
of
Jehovah
Most
High!
