Psalm 7
King James Version
7 O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 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.
6 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 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.
Salmos 7
Dios Habla Hoy
El Señor es un juez justo
(1) Lamentación de David, cuando cantó al Señor, a propósito de Cus, el benjaminita.
7 (2-3) Señor, mi Dios, en ti busco protección;
¡sálvame de todos los que me persiguen!
¡Líbrame, pues son como leones;
no sea que me despedacen
y no haya quien me salve!
3 (4) Señor, mi Dios,
¿en cuál de estas cosas he incurrido?
¿Acaso he cometido un crimen?
4 (5) ¿Acaso he pagado a mi amigo mal por bien?
¿Acaso he oprimido sin razón a mi enemigo?
5 (6) De ser así, que mi enemigo me persiga;
que me alcance y me arrastre por el suelo,
y que haga rodar por el suelo mi honor.
6 (7) ¡Levántate, Señor, con furor!
¡Haz frente a la furia de mis enemigos!
Tú, que has decretado hacer justicia,
¡ponte de mi parte!
7 (8) Rodéate del conjunto de las naciones
y pon tu trono en lo alto, por encima de ellas.
8 (9) Señor, tú juzgas a las naciones:
júzgame conforme a mi honradez;
júzgame conforme a mi inocencia.
9 (10) Dios justo,
que examinas los pensamientos
y los sentimientos más profundos,
¡pon fin a la maldad de los malvados,
pero al hombre honrado manténlo firme!
10 (11) Mi protección es el Dios altísimo,
que salva a los de corazón sincero.
11 (12) Dios es un juez justo
que condena la maldad en todo tiempo.
12 (13) Si el hombre no se vuelve a Dios,
Dios afilará su espada;
ya tiene su arco tenso,
13 (14) ya apunta sus flechas encendidas,
¡ya tiene listas sus armas mortales!
14 (15) Miren al malvado:
tiene dolores de parto,
está preñado de maldad
y dará a luz mentira.
15 (16) Ha hecho una fosa muy honda,
y en su propia fosa caerá.
16 (17) ¡Su maldad y su violencia
caerán sobre su propia cabeza!
17 (18) Alabaré al Señor porque él es justo;
cantaré himnos al nombre del Señor,
al nombre del Altísimo.
Psalm 7
New King James Version
Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies
A (A)Meditation[a] of David, which he sang to the Lord (B)concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.
7 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;
(C)Save me from all those who persecute me;
And deliver me,
2 (D)Lest they tear me like a lion,
(E)Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, (F)if I have done this:
If there is (G)iniquity in my hands,
4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or (H)have plundered my enemy without cause,
5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,
And lay my honor in the dust. Selah
6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
(I)Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
(J)Rise up [b]for me to the judgment You have commanded!
7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
8 The Lord shall judge the peoples;
(K)Judge me, O Lord, (L)according to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.
9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
(M)For the righteous God tests the hearts and [c]minds.
10 [d]My defense is of God,
Who saves the (N)upright in heart.
11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.
12 If he does not turn back,
He will (O)sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
14 (P)Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity;
Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit and dug it out,
(Q)And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 (R)His trouble shall return upon his own head,
And his violent dealing shall come down on [e]his own crown.
17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
