if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause(A) have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake(B) me;
    let him trample my life to the ground(C)
    and make me sleep in the dust.[a](D)

Arise,(E) Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.(F)
    Awake,(G) my God; decree justice.

  1. Psalm 7:5 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

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.

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.
