- 0:04Speaker 1: Psalm seven, a meditation by David which he sang to
- 0:08Speaker 1: Yahweh concerning the words of Kush the Benjamine. Yahweh, my God,
- 0:13Speaker 1: I take refuge in you. Save me from all those
- 0:16Speaker 1: who pursue me, and deliver me, lest they tear apart
- 0:19Speaker 1: my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while
- 0:22Speaker 1: there is none to deliver. Yahweh, my God. If I
- 0:25Speaker 1: have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
- 0:28Speaker 1: if I have rewarded evil to him who is at
- 0:31Speaker 1: peace with me, yes, I have delivered him who without
- 0:34Speaker 1: cause was my adversary. Let the enemy pursue my soul
- 0:38Speaker 1: and overtake it. Yes, let him tread my life down
- 0:41Speaker 1: to the earth and lay my glory in the dust. Arise, Yahweh,
- 0:46Speaker 1: in your anger, lift up yourself against the rage of
- 0:49Speaker 1: my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment. Let
- 0:54Speaker 1: the congregation of the people surround you rule over them
- 0:58Speaker 1: on high, Yahweh, administer mister's judgment to the people's judge me, Yahweh,
- 1:03Speaker 1: according to my righteousness and to my integrity that is
- 1:06Speaker 1: in me. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come
- 1:09Speaker 1: to an end, But establish the righteous. Their minds and
- 1:13Speaker 1: hearts are searched by the righteous God. My shield is
- 1:16Speaker 1: with God, who saves the upright in heart. God is
- 1:20Speaker 1: a righteous judge, Yes, a God who has indignation. Every day.
- 1:25Speaker 1: If a man doesn't relent, he will sharpen his sword.
- 1:28Speaker 1: He has bent and strung his bow. He has also
- 1:32Speaker 1: prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready
- 1:35Speaker 1: his flaming arrows. Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he
- 1:41Speaker 1: has conceived mischief and brought forth falsehood. He has dug
- 1:44Speaker 1: a hole and has fallen into the pit which he made.
- 1:48Speaker 1: The trouble he causes shall return to his own head.
- 1:51Speaker 1: His violence shall come down on the crown of his
- 1:53Speaker 1: own head. I will give thanks to Yahweh according to
- 1:57Speaker 1: his righteousness, and will sing pray is to the name
- 2:01Speaker 1: of Yahweh, Most High.
