Psalms 7

Berean Standard Bible

Clementine Vulgate, 1598

1O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

1Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Jemini.

2or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

2[Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me:

3O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

3nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat.

4if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

4Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,

5then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

5si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis.

6Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

6Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.

7Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.

7Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum: et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in præcepto quod mandasti,

8The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

8et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere:

9Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.

9Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me.

10My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

10Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.

11God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.

11Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.

12If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.

12Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies?

13He has prepared His deadly weapons; He ordains His arrows with fire.

13Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum.

14Behold, the wicked man travails with evil; he conceives trouble and births falsehood.

14Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit.

15He has dug a hole and hollowed it out; he has fallen into a pit of his own making.

15Ecce parturiit injustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.

16His trouble recoils on himself, and his violence falls on his own head.

16Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit.

17I will thank the LORD for His righteousness and sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

17Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet.
