Psalm 7
A shiggayon[a] of David, which he sang to the Lord about Cush, a Benjaminite.

Save me from all who chase me!

Psalm 7:9-12
Common English Bible
9 Please let the evil of the wicked be over,
but set the righteous firmly in place
because you, the righteous God,
are the one who examines hearts and minds.
10 God is my shield;
he saves those whose heart is right.
11 God is a righteous judge,
a God who is angry at evil[a] every single day.
12 If someone doesn’t change their ways,
God will sharpen his sword,
will bend his bow,
will string an arrow.
