Tehillim 7
Tehillim (Book of Psalms), Chapter 7
'"`UNIQ--named-00000000-QINU`"'1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto HaShem, concerning Cush a Benjamite.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000001-QINU`"'2 O HaShem my G-d, in Thee have I taken refuge; save me from all them that pursue me, and deliver me;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000002-QINU`"'3 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000003-QINU`"'4 O HaShem my G-d, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000004-QINU`"'5 If I have requited him that did evil unto me, or spoiled mine adversary unto emptiness;
'"`UNIQ--named-00000005-QINU`"'6 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, and tread my life down to the earth; yea, let him lay my glory in the dust. Selah
'"`UNIQ--named-00000006-QINU`"'7 Arise, O HaShem, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000007-QINU`"'8 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000008-QINU`"'9 O HaShem, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O HaShem, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000009-QINU`"'10 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous G-d trieth the heart and reins.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000A-QINU`"'11 My shield is with G-d, who saveth the upright in heart.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000B-QINU`"'12 G-d is a righteous judge, yea, a G-d that hath indignation every day:
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000C-QINU`"'13 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000D-QINU`"'14 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000E-QINU`"'15 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.
'"`UNIQ--named-0000000F-QINU`"'16 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000010-QINU`"'17 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
'"`UNIQ--named-00000011-QINU`"'18 I will give thanks unto HaShem according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of HaShem Most High.
