Salmos 7

Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

A #Hab. 3:1Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord #2 Sam. 16concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;

*Ps. 31:15Save me from all those who persecute me;

And deliver me,

2 *Ps. 57:4; Is. 38:13Lest they tear me like a lion,

*Ps. 50:22Rending me in pieces, while thereis none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, *2 Sam. 16:7if I have done this:

If there is *1 Sam. 24:11iniquity in my hands,

4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,

Or *1 Sam. 24:7; 26:9have 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;

*Ps. 94:2Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;

*Ps. 35:23; 44:23Rise up 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;

*Ps. 26:1; 35:24; 43:1Judge me, O Lord, *Ps. 18:20; 35:24according 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;

*(1 Sam. 16:7)For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.

10 My defense is of God,

Who saves the *Ps. 97:10, 11; 125:4upright in heart.

11 God is a just judge,

And God is angry withthewicked every day.

12 If he does not turn back,

He will *Deut. 32:41sharpen 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 *Job 15:35; Is. 59:4; (James 1:15)Behold, thewicked brings forth iniquity;

Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

15 He made a pit and dug it out,

*(Job 4:8); Ps. 57:6And has fallen into the ditch which he made.

16 *Esth. 9:25; Ps. 140:9His trouble shall return upon his own head,

And his violent dealing shall come down on 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.
