Psalm 7

Plea for Help against Persecutors

7A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning Cush, a Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in you I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me,H7692H1732H7891H3068H1697H3568H1121H1145H3068H430H2620H3467H7291H53372or like a lion they will tear me apart; they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.H2963H5315H738H6561H53373O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands,H3068H430H6213H3426H5766H37094if I have repaid my ally with harm or plundered my foe without cause,H1580H7451H7999H2502H7387H68875then let the enemy pursue and overtake me, trample my life to the ground, and lay my soul in the dust. SelahH341H7291H5315H5381H7429H2416H776H7931H3519H6083H55426Rise up, O LORD, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake, O my God; you have appointed a judgment.H6965H3068H639H5375H5678H6887H5782H4941H66807Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you, and over it take your seat on high.H5712H3816H5437H7725H47918The LORD judges the peoples; judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and according to the integrity that is in me.H3068H1777H5971H8199H3068H6664H85379O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous, you who test the minds and hearts, O righteous God.H7451H7563H1584H3559H6662H6662H430H974H3826H362910God is my shield, who saves the upright in heart.H4043H430H3467H3477H382011God is a righteous judge, and a God who has indignation every day.H430H8199H6662H410H2194H311712If one does not repent, God will whet his sword; he has bent and strung his bow;H7725H3913H2719H1869H7198H355913he has prepared his deadly weapons, making his arrows fiery shafts.H3559H3627H4194H6466H2671H181414See how they conceive evil, and are pregnant with mischief, and bring forth lies.H2254H205H2029H5999H3205H826715They make a pit, digging it out, and fall into the hole that they have made.H3738H953H2658H5307H7845H646616Their mischief returns upon their own heads, and on their own heads their violence descends.H5999H7725H7218H2555H3381H693617I will give to the LORD the thanks due to his righteousness, and sing praise to the name of the LORD, the Most High.H3034H3068H6664H2167H8034H3068H5945

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
