Psa 7:1 |
O LORD my God, I take refuge in you; save and
deliver me from all who pursue me, |
Psa 7:2 |
or they will tear me like a lion and rip me to
pieces with no one to rescue me. |
Psa 7:3 |
O LORD my God, if I have done this and there is
guilt on my hands- |
Psa 7:4 |
if I have done evil to him who is at peace with
me or without cause have robbed my foe- |
Psa 7:5 |
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me; let him
trample my life to the ground and make me sleep in the dust.
Selah |
Psa 7:6 |
Arise, O LORD , in your anger; rise up against
the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice. |
Psa 7:7 |
Let the assembled peoples gather around you. Rule
over them from on high; |
Psa 7:8 |
let the LORD judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD
, according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most
High. |
Psa 7:9 |
O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts,
bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous
secure. |
Psa 7:10 |
My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright
in heart. |
Psa 7:11 |
God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his
wrath every day. |
Psa 7:12 |
If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword;
he will bend and string his bow. |
Psa 7:13 |
He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes
ready his flaming arrows. |
Psa 7:14 |
He who is pregnant with evil and conceives
trouble gives birth to disillusionment. |
Psa 7:15 |
He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into
the pit he has made. |
Psa 7:16 |
The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his
violence comes down on his own head. |
Psa 7:17 |
I will give thanks to
the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the
name of the LORD Most High
Psa 8:1 |
O LORD , our Lord, how majestic is your name in
all the earth! You have set your glory above the
heavens. |
Psa 8:2 |
From the lips of children and infants you have
ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the
avenger. |
Psa 8:3 |
When I consider your heavens, the work of your
fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in
place, |
Psa 8:4 |
what is man that you are mindful of him, the son
of man that you care for him? |
Psa 8:5 |
You made him a little lower than the heavenly
beings and crowned him with glory and honor. |
Psa 8:6 |
You made him ruler over the works of your hands;
you put everything under his feet: |
Psa 8:7 |
all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the
field, |
Psa 8:8 |
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
all that swim the paths of the seas. |
Psa 8:9 |
O LORD , our Lord, how majestic is your name in
all the earth! |
