Psalm 7:1-2
Contemporary English Version

(Written by David.[a] He sang this to the Lord because of Cush from the tribe of Benjamin.)

The Lord Always Does Right

1 You, Lord God,
    are my protector.
Rescue me and keep me safe
    from all who chase me.
2 Or else they will rip me apart
like lions attacking a victim,
    and no one will save me.
