1) Psalms 7, 27, 31



PSALMS 7



A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning

the words of Cush, a Benjamite.



1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;

save me from all those who persecute me, and deliver me,

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) lest they tear my soul like a lion,

rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) O Lord my God, if I have done this,

if there is iniquity in the palms of my hands,

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) if I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,

or have delivered my adversary without cause,

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) then may the enemy pursue my life and overtake me;

may my enemy trample my life to the ground,

and lay my honor in the dust. Selah

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;

rise up because of the rage of my adversaries,

and awaken Yourself for me; You have commanded justice.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) The congregation of the peoples surround You;

return above it to heaven's heights.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) The Lord will judge the peoples;

grant me justice, O Lord, according to my righteousness,

and according to my integrity within me.

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) May the evil of the wicked come to an end;

may You vindicate the righteous one;

You are a righteous God who examines the minds and hearts.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) My defense depends on God,

who saves the upright in heart.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) God is a righteous judge,

and God has indignation every day.

12 If one does not repent,

God will sharpen His sword;

He has bent His bow and made it ready.

13 He has prepared for Himself deadly weapons;

He makes His arrows flaming shafts.

14 The wicked man writhes in pain of iniquity;

he has conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood.

15 He who digs a hole and hollows it

will then fall into his own pit.

16 His mischief will return on his own head;

his violence will descend on the crown of his own head.

17 I will thank the Lord according to His righteousness,

and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.



Psalm 7

[1] O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that

persecute me, and deliver me:

[2] Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is

none to deliver.

[3] O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

[4] If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have

delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

[5] Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my

life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

[6] Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of

mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

[7] So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their

sakes therefore return thou on high.

[8] The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my

righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

[9] Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the

just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

[10] My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

[11] God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

[12] If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made

it ready.

[13] He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth

his arrows against the persecutors.

[14] Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and

brought forth falsehood.

[15] He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he

made.

[16] His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing

shall come down upon his own pate.

[17] I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing

praise to the name of the LORD most high.



PSALMS 27



A Psalm of David.



1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;

whom will I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life;

of whom will I be afraid?

2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me

to eat my flesh-

my enemies and my foes-

they stumbled and fell.

3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,

my heart will not fear;

though war should rise against me,

in this will I be confident.

4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,

that will I seek after-

for me to dwell in the house of the Lord

all the days of my life,

to see the beauty of the Lord,

and to inquire in His temple.

5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble

He will hide me in His pavilion;

in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;

He will set me up on a rock.

6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) Now my head will be lifted up

above my enemies encircling me;

therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;

I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice!

Be gracious to me and answer me.

8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) When You said, "Seek My face,

my heart said to You, "Your face, Lord, I will seek."

9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Do not hide Your face far from me;

do not thrust Your servant away in anger;

You have been my help.

Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation.

10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) If my father and my mother forsake me,

then the Lord will take me in.

11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) Teach me Your way, O Lord,

and lead me in an upright path,

because of my enemies.

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my enemies;

for false witnesses have risen against me,

and they breathe out violence.

13 I believe

I will see the goodness of the Lord

in the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord;

be strong, and may your heart be stout;

wait on the Lord.



Psalm 27

[1] The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is

the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

[2] When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up

my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

[3] Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though

war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

[4] One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may

dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty

of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple.

[5] For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the

secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

[6] And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me:

therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing,

yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

[7] Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and

answer me.

[8] When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face,

LORD, will I seek.

[9] Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou

hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

[10] When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.

[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine

enemies.

[12] Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses

are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

[13] I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in

the land of the living.

[14] Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine

heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
