Deliver my soul, and save me for your
loving kindness' sake.
006:005 For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall
give you thanks?
006:006 I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed.
I drench my couch with my tears.
006:007 My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of
all my adversaries.
006:008 Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has
heard the voice of my weeping.
006:009 Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.
006:010 May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back,
they shall be disgraced suddenly.
007:001 <<A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words
of Cush, the Benjamite.>> Yahweh, my God, I take refuge in you.
Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,
007:002 lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces,
while there is none to deliver.
007:003 Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity
in my hands,
007:004 if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I
have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
007:005 let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread
my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
007:006 Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage
of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
007:007 Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
Rule over them on high.
007:008 Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me,
Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity
that is in me.
007:009 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous; their minds and hearts are searched
by the righteous God.
007:010 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
007:011 God is a righteous judge, yes, a God who has indignation every day.
007:012 If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword; he has
bent and strung his bow.
007:013 He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death.
He makes ready his flaming arrows.
007:014 Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief,
and brought forth falsehood.
007:015 He has dug a hole, and has fallen into the pit which he made.
007:016 The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
His violence shall come down on the crown of his own head.
007:017 I will give thanks to Yahweh according to his righteousness,
and will sing praise to the name of Yahweh Most High.
008:001 <<For the Chief Musician; on an instrument of Gath.
A Psalm by David.>> Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name
in all the earth, who has set your glory above the heavens!
