Salmos 7

Davi confia em Deus e roga-lhe que o defenda dos ímpios

Sigaiom que Davi cantou a Jeová a respeito das palavras de Cuxe, benjamita

1 Jeová, Deus meu, *Sl 31.1;71.1em ti busco refúgio;

salva-me de todos os que me perseguem e *Sl 31.15livra-me,

2 para que não dilacere ele, *Sl 57.4qual leão, a minha alma,

despedaçando-a, sem haver quem acuda.

3 Jeová, Deus meu, se eu fiz isso,

se há *1Sm 24.11iniquidade nas minhas mãos;

4 se *Sl 109.4paguei com mal ao que tinha paz comigo

(Antes, *1Sm 24.7;26.9livrei aquele que sem motivo era meu adversário.)

5 persiga o inimigo a minha alma e alcance-a;

espezinhe ele no chão a minha vida

e faça habitar no pó a minha glória. (Selá)

6 *Sl 3.7Levanta-te, Jeová, na tua ira,

*Sl 94.2exalta-te contra as *Sl 138.7fúrias dos meus adversários.

*Sl 35.23Desperta-te por mim; já preparaste o juízo.

7 Reúna-se ao redor de ti a congregação dos *Sl 22.27povos,

e, por cima dela, remonta-te ao alto.

8 Jeová administra *Sl 96.13;98.9justiça aos povos.

*Sl 26.1;35.24;43.1Julga-me, Jeová, conforme a retidão e integridade que há em mim.

9 Cesse *Sl 34.21;94.23a maldade dos iníquos,

mas *Sl 37.23;40.2estabelece tu o justo,

pois o justo Deus *Sl 11.4-5;Jr 11.20sonda os corações e os rins.

10 O meu *Sl 18.2escudo está em Deus,

que *Sl 97.10-11salva os retos de coração.

11 Deus é um juiz *Sl 50.6justo,

um Deus que sente *Sl 90.9indignação todos os dias.

12 Se alguém não se *Sl 58.4-5arrepender,

Deus *Dt 32.41afiará a sua espada;

já *Sl 64.7armou o seu arco e tem-no pronto.

13 Para ele já preparou os instrumentos de morte,

as suas *Sl 18.14;45.5setas, fá-las ardentes.

14 Eis que o mau está com dores de iniquidade,

*Jó 15.35;Is 59.4;Tg 1.15concebe a malvadez e dá à luz a falsidade.

15 Abriu um poço, e cavou-o,

e *Sl 57.6cairá no fosso que fez.

16 A sua *Sl 140.9malvadez tornará a cair sobre a sua cabeça,

e, sobre a sua mioleira, descerá a sua *Sl 140.11violência.

17 Darei graças a Jeová, *Sl 71.15-16segundo a sua retidão,

e *Sl 9.2;65.1-2,4cantarei louvores ao nome de Jeová Altíssimo.

A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.

1 Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you.

Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

2 lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,

ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

3 Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,

if there is iniquity in my hands,

4 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me

(yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

5 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;

yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,

and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.

6 Arise, Yahweh, in your anger.

Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.

Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.

7 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.

Rule over them on high.

8 Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples.

Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness,

and to my integrity that is in me.

9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,

but establish the righteous;

their minds and hearts are searched by the righteous God.

10 My shield is with God,

who saves the upright in heart.

11 God is a righteous judge,

yes, a God who has indignation every day.

12 If a man doesn’t repent, he will sharpen his sword;

he has bent and strung his bow.

13 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.

He makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 Behold,*7:14 "Behold", from "הִנֵּה", means look at, take notice, observe, see, or gaze at. It is often used as an interjection. he travails with iniquity.

Yes, he has conceived mischief,

and brought out falsehood.

15 He has dug a hole,

and has fallen into the pit which he made.

16 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.

His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.

17 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness,

and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
