1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psalms 7

1 David prayeth against the malice of his enemies, professing his innocency. 10 By faith he seeth his defence, and the destruction of his enemies.

 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!
