Daily Meditation
17 I will praise the
Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the
Lord most high.
Today’s Reading
Psalm
Chapter 7
The Lord shall judge
the people
Shiggaion of David,
which he sang unto the Lord, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. 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.
