[[Shiggaionº

unto Yahweh,º
concerningº

O Yahwehº
my Elohim,º
in thee do I put my trust:ºº
saveºº
me from allºº
them that persecuteºº
me, and deliverºº
me: |
|
7:2
Lest at any time [the enemy] seize my soul as a lion, while there is none to ransom, nor to save. |
|

Lestº
he tearºº
my soulº
like a lion,º
rending [it] in pieces,ºº
while [there is] noneº
to deliver.ºº |

7:3
O Lord my God, if I have done this; (if there is unrighteousness in my hands;) |
|
7:3
O Yahwehº
my Elohim,º
ifº
I have doneºº
this;º
ifº
there beº
iniquityº
in my hands;º |
|
7:4
if I have requited with evil those who requited me [with good]; may I then perish empty by means of my enemies. |
|
7:4
Ifº
I have rewardedºº
evilº
unto him that was at peaceºº
with me; (yea, I have deliveredºº
him that without causeº
is mine enemy:)ºº |
|
7:5
Let the enemy persecute my soul, an take it; and let him trample my life on the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Pause. |
|

Let the enemyºº
persecuteºº
my soul,º
and takeºº
[it]; yea, let him tread downºº
my lifeº
upon the earth,º
and layºº
mine honourº
in the dust.º

O Yahweh,º
in thine anger,º
lift upºº
thyselfº

the people:º
judgeºº
me, O Yahweh,º
according to my righteousness,º
and according to mine integrityº
[that is] inº
me. |

day.º |
