Psalmorum 7
1 psalmus David quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi filii Iemini Domine Deus meus in te speravi salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me et libera me
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam dum non est qui redimat neque qui salvum faciat
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
3 Domine Deus meus si feci istud si est iniquitas in manibus meis
O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis
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 persequatur inimicus animam meam et conprehendat et conculcet in terra vitam meam et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat diapsalma
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 exsurge Domine in ira tua exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum et exsurge Domine Deus meus in praecepto quod mandasti
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 et synagoga populorum circumdabit te et propter hanc in altum regredere
So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 Dominus iudicat populos iudica me Domine secundum iustitiam meam et secundum innocentiam meam super me
The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
9 consummetur nequitia peccatorum et diriges iustum et scrutans corda et renes Deus
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 iustum adiutorium meum a Deo qui salvos facit rectos corde
My defence [is] of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 Deus iudex iustus et fortis et patiens numquid irascitur per singulos dies
God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] every day.
12 nisi conversi fueritis gladium suum vibrabit arcum suum tetendit et paravit illum
If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 et in eo paravit vasa mortis sagittas suas ardentibus effecit
He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 ecce parturiit iniustitiam et; concepit dolorem et peperit iniquitatem
Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 lacum aperuit et effodit eum et incidet in foveam quam fecit
He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch [which] he made.
16 convertetur dolor eius in caput eius et in verticem ipsius iniquitas eius descendet
His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 confitebor Domino secundum iustitiam eius et psallam nomini Domini altissimi
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
