Read in context

Psalms 7:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

2 or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah
