Domine, Deus meus.
David, trusting in the justice of his cause, prayeth for God's help
against his enemies.
7:1. The psalm of David, which he sung to the Lord, for the words of
Chusi, the son of Jemini.
7:2. O Lord, my God, in thee have I put my trust; same me from all them
that persecute me, and deliver me.
7:3. Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, while there is
no one to redeem me, nor to save.
7:4. O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, if there be iniquity in
my hands:
7:5. If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly
fall empty before my enemies.
7:6. Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life,
on the earth, and bring down my glory to the dust.
7:7. Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders
of my enemies. And arise, O Lord, my God, in the precept which thou
hast commanded:
7:8. And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their
sakes return thou on high.
7:9. The Lord judgeth the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my
justice, and according to my innocence in me.
7:10. The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought; and thou
shalt direct the just: the searcher of hearts and reins is God. Just
7:11. Is my help from the Lord; who saveth the upright of heart.

bent his bow, and made it ready.

ready his arrows for them that burn.
For them that burn. . .That is, against the persecutors of his saints.
7:15. Behold he hath been in labour with injustice: he hath conceived
sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
7:16. He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole
he made.
7:17. His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity
shall come down upon his crown.
7:18. I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will
sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
