Psalm 7
ISV Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
International Standard VersionNew Living Translation
1LORD, my God, I seek refuge in you. Deliver me from those who persecute me! Rescue me!1I come to you for protection, O LORD my God. Save me from my persecutors—rescue me!
2Otherwise, they will rip me to shreds like a lion, tearing me apart with no one to rescue me. 2If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion, tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.
3LORD, my God, if I have done this thing, if there is injustice on my hands,3O LORD my God, if I have done wrong or am guilty of injustice,
4if I have rewarded those who did me good with evil, if I have plundered my enemy without justification,4if I have betrayed a friend or plundered my enemy without cause,
5then, let my enemy pursue me, let him overtake me, and let him trample my life to the ground. Interlude Let him put my honor into the dust.5then let my enemies capture me. Let them trample me into the ground and drag my honor in the dust. Interlude
6Get up, LORD, in your anger! Rise up, because of the fury of my enemies; Arouse yourself for me; you have ordained justice.6Arise, O LORD, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice!
7Let the assembly of the peoples gather around you, and you will sit high above them.7Gather the nations before you. Rule over them from on high.
8For the LORD will judge the peoples. Judge me according to my righteousness, LORD, and according to my integrity, Exalted One.8The LORD judges the nations. Declare me righteous, O LORD, for I am innocent, O Most High!
9Let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous. For you are the righteous God who discerns the inner thoughts. 9End the evil of those who are wicked, and defend the righteous. For you look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous God.
10God is my shield, the one who delivers the upright in heart.10God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right.
11God is a righteous judge, a God who is angry with sinners every day.11God is an honest judge. He is angry with the wicked every day.
12If the ungodly one doesn't repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will string his bow and prepare it.12If a person does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow.
13He prepares weapons of death for himself, he makes his arrows into fiery shafts.13He will prepare his deadly weapons and shoot his flaming arrows.
14But the wicked one travails with evil, he conceives malice and gives birth to lies.14The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies.
15He digs a pit, even excavates it; then he fell into the hole that he had made.15They dig a deep pit to trap others, then fall into it themselves.
16The trouble he planned will return on his own head, and his violence will descend on his skull.16The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads.
17But as for me, I will praise the LORD for his righteousness, and I will sing to the name of the LORD Most High.17I will thank the LORD because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.
