Psalms 7:1-6 NIV

Psalms 7:1-6

Psalm 7In Hebrew texts 7:1-17 is numbered 7:2-18.

A shiggaionTitle: Probably a literary or musical term of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning Cush, a Benjamite.

Lord my God, I take refuge in you;

save and deliver me from all who pursue me,

or they will tear me apart like a lion

and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

Lord my God, if I have done this

and there is guilt on my hands—

if I have repaid my ally with evil

or without cause have robbed my foe—

then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;

let him trample my life to the ground

and make me sleep in the dust.7:5 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here.

Arise, Lord, in your anger;

rise up against the rage of my enemies.

Awake, my God; decree justice.
