O Lord my God, in YOu I put my trust

Psalm Seven

O Lord my God, in you I put my trust
Save me from all those who persecute me and deliver me
Lest they tear me like a lion, rending me in pieces
While there is none to deliver

O Lord my God, if I have done this
If there is iniquity in my hands
If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me
Or have plundered my enemy without cause

let the enemy pursue me and overtake me
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth
And lay my honor in the dust
Arise, O Lord, in Your anger

Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies
Rise up for me to the judgment You have commanded
So the congregation of the people shall surround You
For their sakes, therefore, return on high

The Lord shall judge the peoples
Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
And according to my integrity within me
O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end

But establish the just for the righteous God
Test the hearts and minds
My defense is of God
Who saves the upright in heart

God is a just judge
And God is angry with the wicked every day
If He does not turn back
He will sharpen His sword

He bends His bow and makes it ready
He also prepares for Himself instruments of death
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts
Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity

Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood
He made a pit and dug it out
And has fallen into the ditch which he made
His trouble shall return upon His own head

And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown
I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High
Alleluia
