PSAL. VII.

[1]

O Lord my God, in thee do I

my confidence repose;
Save and deliver me from all
my persecuting foes.

2

Lest that the enemy my soul

should like a Lion tear,
In pieces renting it, while there
is no deliverer.

3

O Lord my God, if it be so

that I committed this;
If it be so, that in my hands
iniquity there is.

4

If I rewarded ill to him

that was at peace with me:
(Yea, ev'n the man that without cause
my foe was, I did free.)

5

Then let the foe persue, and take

my soul, and my life thrust
Down to the earth, and let him lay
mine honour in the dust.

6

Rise in thy wrath, Lord, raise thyself

for my foes raging be:
And to the judgement, wch thou hast
commanded, wake for me.

7

So shall th'assembly of thy folk

about encompasse thee:
Thou therefore for their sakes, return
unto thy place on hie.

8

The Lord he shal the people judge:

my judge, Jehovah, be,
After my righteousnesse, and mine
integrity in me.

9

O Let the wickeds malice end,

but stablish stedfastly
The righteous: for the righteous God
the hearts and reins doth try.

10

In God, who saves th'upright in heart,

is my defence and stay.

11

God just men judgeth, God is wroth

with ill men every day.

12

If he do not return again,

then He his sword wil whet;
His bow he hath already bent,
and hath it ready set.

13

He also hath for him prepar'd

the instruments of death;
Against the persecutors he
his shafts ordained hath.

14

Behold, he with iniquity

doth travail as in birth;
A mischief he conceived hath,
and falshood shal bring forth.

15

He made a pit and digg'd it deep,

another there to take,
But he is fal'n into the ditch
which he himself did make.

16

Upon his own head, his mischief

shall be returned home;
His violent dealing also down
on his own pate shall come.

17

According to his righteousnesse

the Lord I'le magnifie:
And will sing praise unto the Name
of God, that is most hie.
