Selah\n7 Arise, O HaShem, in Thine anger, lift up Thyself in indignation against mine adversaries; yea, awake for me at the judgment which Thou hast commanded.\n8 And let the congregation of the peoples compass Thee about, and over them return Thou on high.\n9 O HaShem, who ministerest judgment to the peoples, judge me, O HaShem, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.\n10 Oh that a full measure of evil might come upon the wicked, and that Thou wouldest establish the righteous; for the righteous G-d trieth the heart and reins.\n11 My shield is with G-d, who saveth the upright in heart.\n12 G-d is a righteous judge, yea, a G-d that hath indignation every day:\n13 If a man turn not, He will whet His sword, He hath bent His bow, and made it ready;\n14 He hath also prepared for him the weapons of death, yea, His arrows which He made sharp.\n15 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity; yea, he conceiveth mischief, and bringeth forth falsehood.\n16 He hath digged a pit, and hollowed it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.\n17 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violence shall come down upon his own pate.\n18 I will give thanks unto HaShem according to His righteousness; and will sing praise to the name of HaShem Most High.","title":"Psalms 7","type":"page"}
