Bøn om hjælp mod fjenderne

1 En sang David sang til Herren på grund af benjaminitten Kush. 

2 Min Herre og Gud, jeg stoler på dig, red mig fra alle mine forfølgere. 

3 Lad dem ikke sønderrive mig som løver, slæbe mig bort, uden at nogen kommer til hjælp. 

4 Herre, hvis jeg havde forbrudt mig, hvis jeg virkelig var skyldig, 

5 hvis jeg havde svigtet mine venner eller uden grund udplyndret mine fjender, 

6 kunne de med god ret sønderrive mig og trampe mig ned i støvet. 

7 Grib ind mod mine fjenders raseri, Herre! Giv dem den straf, de fortjener. 

8 Lad folkene samles foran dig. Tag plads på din høje trone. 

9 Det er dig, Herre, der dømmer folkeslagene. Frikend mig, for jeg er uskyldig. Jeg har ikke gjort noget forkert. 

10 Herre, gør en ende på de gudløses ondskab, men hjælp dem, der er uden skyld. For du er god og retfærdig, du kender hjertets dyb, du vejer vore motiver og inderste tanker. 

11 Den almægtige Gud er mit skjold, han redder dem, der handler ret. 

12 Gud er en retfærdig dommer, han dømmer de gudløse dag efter dag. 

13 Hvis de ikke omvender sig, hvæsser han sværdet og spænder buen. 

14 Han affyrer sine dødbringende våben, sender de brændende pile af sted. 

15 De gudløse undfanger uret, er svangre med ondskab og føder løgn. 

16 De sætter fælder for andre, men bliver selv fanget. De graver faldgruber, men falder selv i dem. 

17 Deres onde planer giver bagslag, deres rænker rammer dem selv. 

18 Jeg priser Herren, for han er god. Jeg vil lovsynge den almægtige Gud.

Salme 7

King James Version

1 Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. 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.
