Bay Psalm Book: Psalm 7

Psalme 7

Shiggajon of David which he sag to Iehovah upō the words of Cush the Benjamite.

¹ O LORD my God in thee I doe my trust repose, save and deliver me from all my persectuing foes.

² Lest like a Lion hee my soule in peeces teare: rending asunder, while there is not one delieverer.

³ Iehovah o my God if this thing done have I: if so there be within my hands wrongfull iniquity

⁴ If I required ill the man with me a peace, that was my foe causlesse:) ⁵ Let foe pursue my soule,

and take, and tread to clay my life: and honor in the dust there let him wholly lay ⁶ Arise Lord in thy wrath

for th’ enimies fiercenesse: be thou lift up, & wake to me, judgement thou did’st expresse. ⁷ So thee encompasse round

shall peoples assembly; and for the same doe thou returne, vnto the place on high. ⁸ The Lord shall judgthe folke;

Iehovah judge thou me. according to my righteousnesse, and mine intergritie. ⁹ Let ill mens malice cease,

but doe the just confirme, for thou who art the righteous God: dost hearts and reins discerne. ¹⁰ For God my sheild, the right

in heart he saved hath/ ¹¹ The God that doth the rightous judge, yet daily kindleth wrath. ¹² If he doe not returne,

his sword he sharp willwhet: his bow he bended hath, and he the same hath ready set. ¹³ For him he hath prepar’d the instruments of death,

for them that hotly persecute, his arrows he sharpneth. ¹⁴ Behold he travelleth of vaine inniquity:

a toylesome mischeife he conceiv’d but shall bring forth a lye. ¹⁵ A pit he digged hath, and delved deepe the same:

But fall’n he is into the ditch, that he himselfe did frame. ¹⁶ His mischeivous labor shall on his head turn downe:

and his injurious violence shall fall upon his crowne. ¹⁷ Iehovah I will prayse for his just equity;

and I will sing unto the name of Iehovah most high.
