Awake, my God; decree justice. 7:7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you. Rule over them from on high; 7:8 let the Lord judge the peoples. Judge me, O Lord , according to my righteousness, according to my integrity, O Most High. 7:9 O righteous God, who searches minds and hearts, bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure. 7:10 My shield is God Most High, who saves the upright in heart. 7:11 God is a righteous judge, a God who expresses his wrath every day. 7:12 If he does not relent, he will sharpen his sword; he will bend and string his bow. 7:13 He has prepared his deadly weapons; he makes ready his flaming arrows. 7:14 He who is pregnant with evil and conceives trouble gives birth to disillusionment. 7:15 He who digs a hole and scoops it out falls into the pit he has made. 7:16 The trouble he causes recoils on himself; his violence comes down on his own head. 7:17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
