If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy: (7:4) Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah (7:5) Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded (7:6) So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high (7:7) The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me (7:8) Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins (7:9) My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart (7:10) God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day (7:11) If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready (7:12) He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors (7:13) Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood (7:14) He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made (7:15) His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate (7:16) I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high
(7:17)
