Psalm 7:1-7

English Standard Version

In You Do I Take Refuge

A ^(A)Shiggaion^[a] of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite.

7 O Lord my God, in you do I ^(B)take refuge;
^(C)save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
²lest like ^(D)a lion they tear my soul apart,
rending it in pieces, with ^(E)none to deliver.

³O Lord my God, ^(F)if I have done this,
    if there is ^(G)wrong in my hands,
⁴if I have repaid ^(H)my friend^[b] with evil
    or ^(I)plundered my enemy without cause,
⁵let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
    and let him ^(J)trample my life to the ground
    and lay my glory in the dust. Selah

⁶^(K)Arise, O Lord, in your anger;
    ^(L)lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
    ^(M)awake for me; you have appointed a judgment.
⁷Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;
    over it return on high.
