Psalm 7  New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

³ O Lord my God, if I have done this,
    if there is wrong in my hands,
⁴ if I have repaid my ally with harm
    or plundered my foe without cause,
⁵ then let the enemy pursue and overtake me,
    trample my life to the ground,
    and lay my soul in the dust.Selah

⁶ Rise up, O Lord, in your anger;
    lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
    awake, O my God;^[a] you have appointed a judgement.
⁷ Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered around you,
    and over it take your seat^[b] on high.
⁸ The Lord judges the peoples;
    judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
    and according to the integrity that is in me.

⁹ O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
    but establish the righteous,
you who test the minds and hearts,
    O righteous God.
¹⁰ God is my shield,
    who saves the upright in heart.
¹¹ God is a righteous judge,
    and a God who has indignation every day.

¹² If one does not repent, God^[c] will whet his sword;
    he has bent and strung his bow;
¹³ he has prepared his deadly weapons,
    making his arrows fiery shafts.
¹⁴ See how they conceive evil,
    and are pregnant with mischief,
    and bring forth lies.
¹⁵ They make a pit, digging it out,
    and fall into the hole that they have made.
¹⁶ Their mischief returns upon their own heads,
    and on their own heads their violence descends.

¹⁷ I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
    and sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
