7:1O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me.

7:2Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer.

7:3O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands,

7:4If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause,

7:5An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah.

7:6Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

7:7And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

7:8Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me,

7:9Let, 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.

7:10My shield is on God, Saviour of the upright in heart!

7:11God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

7:12If one turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it,

7:13Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh.

7:14Lo, he travaileth with iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood.

7:15A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh.

7:16Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down.

7:17I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!

8:0To the Overseer, `On the Gittith.' A Psalm of David.

8:1Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth! Who settest thine honour on the heavens.

8:2From the mouths of infants and sucklings Thou hast founded strength, Because of Thine adversaries, To still an enemy and a self-avenger.

8:3For I see Thy heavens, a work of Thy fingers, Moon and stars that Thou didst establish.

8:4What is man that Thou rememberest him? The son of man that Thou inspectest him?

8:5And causest him to lack a little of Godhead, And with honour and majesty compassest him.

8:6Thou dost cause him to rule Over the works of Thy hands, All Thou hast placed under his feet.

8:7Sheep and oxen, all of them, And also beasts of the field,

8:8Bird of the heavens, and fish of the sea, Passing through the paths of the seas!

8:9Jehovah, our Lord, How honourable Thy name in all the earth!

9:0To the Overseer, `On the Death of Labben.' -- A Psalm of David.

9:1I confess, O Jehovah, with all my heart, I recount all Thy wonders,

9:2I rejoice and exult in Thee, I praise Thy Name, O Most High.

9:3In mine enemies turning backward, they stumble and perish from Thy face.

9:4For Thou hast done my judgment and my right. Thou hast sat on a throne, A judge of righteousness.

9:5Thou hast rebuked nations, Thou hast destroyed the wicked, Their name Thou hast blotted out to the age and for ever.

9:6O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

9:7And Jehovah to the age abideth, He is preparing for judgment His throne.

9:8And He judgeth the world in righteousness, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.

9:9And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.

9:10They trust in Thee who do know Thy name, For Thou hast not forsaken Those seeking Thee, O Jehovah.

9:11Sing ye praise to Jehovah, inhabiting Zion, Declare ye among the peoples His acts,

9:12For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

9:13Favour me, O Jehovah, See mine affliction by those hating me, Thou who liftest me up from the gates of death,

9:14So that I recount all Thy praise, In the gates of the daughter of Zion. I rejoice on Thy salvation.

9:15Sunk have nations in a pit they made, In a net that they hid hath their foot been captured.

9:16Jehovah hath been known, Judgment He hath done, By a work of his hands Hath the wicked been snared. Meditation. Selah.

9:17The wicked do turn back to Sheol, All nations forgetting God.

9:18For not for ever is the needy forgotten, The hope of the humble lost to the age.

9:19Rise, O Jehovah, let not man be strong, Let nations be judged before Thy face.

9:20Appoint, O Jehovah, a director to them, Let nations know they are men! Selah.
