Ps 7

SShiggaion 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: (MT 7:2; LXX 7:2; Rahlfs 7:2) שִׁגָּי֗וֹן לְדָ֫וִ֥ד אֲשֶׁר־שָׁ֥ר לַיהוָ֑ה עַל־דִּבְרֵי־כ֝֗וּשׁ בֶּן־יְמִינִֽי׃ 2Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. (MT 7:3; LXX 7:3; Rahlfs 7:3) יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי בְּךָ֣ חָסִ֑יתִי הוֹשִׁיעֵ֥נִי מִכָּל־רֹ֝דְפַ֗י וְהַצִּילֵֽנִי׃ 3O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; (MT 7:4; LXX 7:4; Rahlfs 7:4) פֶּן־יִטְרֹ֣ף כְּאַרְיֵ֣ה נַפְשִׁ֑י פֹּ֝רֵ֗ק וְאֵ֣ין מַצִּֽיל׃ 4If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) (MT 7:5; LXX 7:5; Rahlfs 7:5) יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהַי אִם־עָשִׂ֣יתִי זֹ֑את אִֽם־יֶשׁ־עָ֥וֶל בְּכַפָּֽי׃ 5Let 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. (MT 7:6; LXX 7:6; Rahlfs 7:6) אִם־גָּ֭מַלְתִּי שֽׁוֹלְמִ֥י רָ֑ע וָאֲחַלְּצָ֖ה צוֹרְרִ֣י רֵיקָֽם׃ 6Arise, 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. (MT 7:7; LXX 7:7; Rahlfs 7:7) יִֽרַדֹּ֥ף אוֹיֵ֨ב ׀ נַפְשִׁ֡י וְיַשֵּׂ֗ג וְיִרְמֹ֣ס לָאָ֣רֶץ חַיָּ֑י וּכְבוֹדִ֓י ׀ לֶעָפָ֖ר יַשְׁכֵּ֣ן סֶֽלָה׃ 7So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. (MT 7:8; LXX 7:8; Rahlfs 7:8) ק֘וּמָ֤ה יְהוָ֨ה ׀ בְּאַפֶּ֗ךָ הִ֭נָּשֵׂא בְּעַבְר֣וֹת צוֹרְרָ֑י וְע֥וּרָה אֵ֝לַ֗י מִשְׁפָּ֥ט צִוִּֽיתָ׃ 8The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. (MT 7:9; LXX 7:9; Rahlfs 7:9) וַעֲדַ֣ת לְ֭אֻמִּים תְּסוֹבְבֶ֑ךָּ וְ֝עָלֶ֗יהָ לַמָּר֥וֹם שֽׁוּבָה׃ 9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. (MT 7:10; LXX 7:10; Rahlfs 7:10) יְהוָה֮ יָדִ֪ין עַ֫מִּ֥ים שָׁפְטֵ֥נִי יְהוָ֑ה כְּצִדְקִ֖י וּכְתֻמִּ֣י עָלָֽי׃ 10My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. (MT 7:11; LXX 7:11; Rahlfs 7:11) יִגְמָר־נָ֬א רַ֨ע ׀ רְשָׁעִים֮ וּתְכוֹנֵ֪ן צַ֫דִּ֥יק וּבֹחֵ֣ן לִ֭בּ֗וֹת וּכְלָי֗וֹת אֱלֹהִ֥ים צַדִּֽיק׃ 11God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. (MT 7:12; LXX 7:12; Rahlfs 7:12) מָֽגִנִּ֥י עַל־אֱלֹהִ֑ים מ֝וֹשִׁ֗יעַ יִשְׁרֵי־לֵֽב׃ 12If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. (MT 7:13; LXX 7:13; Rahlfs 7:13) אֱ֭לֹהִים שׁוֹפֵ֣ט צַדִּ֑יק וְ֝אֵ֗ל זֹעֵ֥ם בְּכָל־יֽוֹם׃ 13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. (MT 7:14; LXX 7:14; Rahlfs 7:14) אִם־לֹ֣א יָ֭שׁוּב חַרְבּ֣וֹ יִלְט֑וֹשׁ קַשְׁתּ֥וֹ דָ֝רַ֗ךְ וַֽיְכוֹנְנֶֽהָ׃ 14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. (MT 7:15; LXX 7:15; Rahlfs 7:15) וְ֭לוֹ הֵכִ֣ין כְּלֵי־מָ֑וֶת חִ֝צָּ֗יו לְֽדֹלְקִ֥ים יִפְעָֽל׃ 15He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. (MT 7:16; LXX 7:16; Rahlfs 7:16) הִנֵּ֥ה יְחַבֶּל־אָ֑וֶן וְהָרָ֥ה עָ֝מָ֗ל וְיָ֣לַד שָֽׁקֶר׃ 16His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. (MT 7:17; LXX 7:17; Rahlfs 7:17) בּ֣וֹר כָּ֭רָֽה וַֽיַּחְפְּרֵ֑הוּ וַ֝יִּפֹּ֗ל בְּשַׁ֣חַת יִפְעָֽל׃ 17I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high. (MT 7:18; LXX 7:18; Rahlfs 7:18) יָשׁ֣וּב עֲמָל֣וֹ בְרֹאשׁ֑וֹ וְעַ֥ל קָ֝דְקֳד֗וֹ חֲמָס֥וֹ יֵרֵֽד׃
