Psalm 7:12-17

Christian Standard Bible

¹² If anyone does not repent,
he will sharpen his sword;^(A)
he has strung his bow and made it ready.^(B)
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he tips his arrows with fire.^(C)

¹⁴ See, the wicked one is pregnant with evil,
conceives trouble, and gives birth to deceit.^(D)
15 He dug a pit and hollowed it out
but fell into the hole he had made.^(E)
16 His trouble comes back on his own head;
his own violence comes down on top of his head.^(F)

¹⁷ I will thank the Lord for his righteousness;
I will sing about the name of the Lord Most High.^(G)
