7:1  `The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

7:2  Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

7:3  O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

7:4  If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

7:5  An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

7:6  Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

7:7  And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

7:8  Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

7:9  Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God.

7:10  My shield `is' on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

7:11  God `is' a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

7:12  If `one' turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,

7:13  Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

7:14  Lo, he travaileth `with' iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

7:15  A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

7:16  Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

7:17  I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
