7:1  A shiggayon of David, which he sang to Adonai because of Kush the Ben-Y’mini:
7:2  Adonai my God, in you I take refuge. Save me from all my pursuers, and rescue me;
7:3  otherwise, they will maul me like a lion and tear me apart, with no rescuer present.
7:4  Adonai my God, if I have caused this, if there is guilt on my hands,
7:5  if I paid back evil to him who was at peace with me, when I even spared those who opposed me without cause;
7:6  then let the enemy pursue me until he overtakes me and tramples my life down into the earth; yes, let him lay my honor in the dust. (Selah)
7:7  Rise up, Adonai, in your anger! Arouse yourself against the fury of my foes. Wake up for me; you commanded justice.
7:8  May the assembly of the peoples surround you; may you return to rule over them from on high.
7:9  Adonai, who dispenses judgment to the peoples, judge me, Adonai, according to my righteousness and as my integrity deserves.
7:10  Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, and establish the righteous; since you, righteous God, test hearts and minds.
7:11  My shield is God, who saves the upright in heart.
7:12  God is a righteous judge, a God whose anger is present every day.
7:13  If a person will not repent, he sharpens his sword. He has bent his bow, made it ready;
7:14  he has also prepared for him weapons of death, his arrows, which he has made into burning shafts.
7:15  Look how the wicked is pregnant with evil; he conceives trouble, gives birth to lies.
7:16  He makes a pit, digs it deep, and falls into the hole he made.
7:17  His mischief will return onto his own head, his violence will recoil onto his own skull.
7:18  I thank Adonai for his righteousness and sing praise to the name of Adonai ‘Elyon.
