7:1 Lord Jehovah, my God, in you I have hoped; redeem me and save me from all my persecutors.
7:2 Lest they tear my soul apart like a lion and there is none who saves and delivers.
7:3 Lord Jehovah, my God, if I have done this and if there is evil in my hands,
7:4 And if I paid him who did evil to me and if I have afflicted my enemies for nothing,
7:5 May the enemy persecute my soul, and let him seize it and tread my life into the ground, and destroy my honor into the dust.
7:6 Arise, Lord Jehovah, in your wrath, and I shall be lifted up above the neck of my enemies; awaken for me the judgment that you have commanded.
7:7 And the congregation of the peoples will surround you, and for its sake you shall return on high.
7:8 Lord Jehovah shall judge the nations. Judge me, Lord Jehovah, according to my righteousness and according to my integrity.
7:9 Let evil be spent upon the wicked and establish the righteous; God, the Righteous One proves the heart and the kidneys.
7:10 God is my helper, who saves the upright in heart.
7:11 God, the Judge of truth, is not angry every day.
7:12 If he does not turn, he sharpens his sword, he bends his bow; he is ready.
7:13 And he prepares for himself the instruments of wrath; he makes his arrows burn.
7:14 Because the evil one is corrupt and has conceived lies and has given birth to evil,
7:15 He has dug a pit and has dug it and has fallen into the ditch that he made.
7:16 His evil will return upon his head, and upon his desire his evil will descend.
7:17 I shall confess Lord Jehovah according to my righteousness, and I shall sing praise to The Name of Lord Jehovah The Most High.
