King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 7:1 | O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: | `The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me. |
| 7:2 | Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver. | Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer. |
| 7:3 | O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands; | O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands, |
| 7:4 | If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:) | If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause, |
| 7:5 | 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. | An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah. |
| 7:6 | 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. | Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded: |
| 7:7 | So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. | And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back, |
| 7:8 | The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me. | Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me, |
| 7:9 | Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. | Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God. |
| 7:10 | My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart. | My shield `is' on God, Saviour of the upright in heart! |
| 7:11 | God `is' a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times. | |
| 7:12 | If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. | If `one' turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it, |
| 7:13 | He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. | Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh. |
| 7:14 | Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. | Lo, he travaileth `with' iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood. |
| 7:15 | He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. | A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh. |
| 7:16 | His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. | Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down. |
| 7:17 | I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. | I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High! |
