10 All mine enemies shall be confounded, and sore vexed: they
shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.
PSALM 7. _Domine, Deus meus_.
O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all
them that persecute me, and deliver me;
2 Lest he devour my soul, like a lion, and tear it in pieces:
while there is none to help.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done any such thing: or if there be
any wickedness in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with me:
yea, I have delivered him that without any cause is mine enemy;
5 Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me: yea, let
him tread my life down upon the earth, and lay mine honour in
the dust.
6 Stand up, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift up thyself, because of
the indignation of mine enemies: arise up for me in the judgement
that thou hast commanded.
7 And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee: for
their sakes therefore lift up thyself again.
8 The Lord shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O Lord:
according to my righteousness, and according to the innocency that
is in me.
9 O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end: but guide
thou the just.
