Salmo 7

¹Cântico de Davi, que cantou ao SENHOR, depois das palavras de Cuxe, descendente de Benjamim: SENHOR, meu Deus, em ti confio; salva-me de todos os que me perseguem, e livra-me.

²Para que não rasguem minha alma como um leão, sendo despedaçada sem haver quem a livre.

³SENHOR, meu Deus, se eu fiz isto: se há perversidade em minhas mãos;

⁴Se eu paguei com mal ao que tinha paz comigo (mas fiz escapar ao que me oprimia sem causa);

⁵Então que o inimigo persiga a minha alma, e a alcance; e pise em terra a minha vida; e faça habitar minha honra no pó. (Selá)

⁶Levanta-te, SENHOR, em tua ira; exalta-te pelos furores de meus opressores; e desperta para comigo; tu mandaste o juízo.

⁷Então o ajuntamento de povos te rodeará; portanto volta a te elevar a ti mesmo sobre ele.

⁸O SENHOR julgará aos povos; julga-me, SENHOR, conforme a minha justiça, e conforme a sinceridade que há em mim.

⁹Que tenha fim a maldade dos maus; mas firma ao justo, tu, ó justo Deus, que provas os corações e os sentimentos.

¹⁰Meu escudo pertence a Deus, que salva os corretos de coração.

¹¹Deus é um justo juiz; e um Deus que se ira todos os dias.

¹²Ele afia a espada para aquele que não se arrepende; ele já armou e preparou seu arco.

¹³E para ele já preparou armas mortais; suas flechas utilizará contra os perseguidores.

¹⁴Eis que o injusto está com dores de perversidade; e está em trabalho de parto, e gerará mentiras.

¹⁵Ele cavou um poço e o fez fundo; mas caiu na cova que ele próprio fez.

¹⁶Seu trabalho se voltará contra sua própria cabeça; e sua violência descerá sobre o topo de sua cabeça.

¹⁷Eu louvarei ao SENHOR conforme sua justiça; cantarei ao nome do SENHOR, o Altíssimo.

¹Shiggaion 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:

²Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

³O Lord my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

⁴If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

⁵Let 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.

⁶Arise, 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.

⁷So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

⁸The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

⁹Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

¹⁰My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.

¹¹God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.

¹²If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

¹³He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

¹⁴Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.

¹⁵He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

¹⁶His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

¹⁷I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high.

¹Psalmus David, quem cantavit Domino pro verbis Chusi, filii Jemini.

²Domine Deus meus, in te speravi; salvum me fac ex omnibus persequentibus me, et libera me:

³nequando rapiat ut leo animam meam, dum non est qui redimat, neque qui salvum faciat.

⁴Domine Deus meus, si feci istud, si est iniquitas in manibus meis,

⁵si reddidi retribuentibus mihi mala, decidam merito ab inimicis meis inanis.

⁶Persequatur inimicus animam meam, et comprehendat; et conculcet in terra vitam meam, et gloriam meam in pulverem deducat.

⁷Exsurge, Domine, in ira tua, et exaltare in finibus inimicorum meorum: et exsurge, Domine Deus meus, in præcepto quod mandasti,

⁸et synagoga populorum circumdabit te: et propter hanc in altum regredere:

⁹Dominus judicat populos. Judica me, Domine, secundum justitiam meam, et secundum innocentiam meam super me.

¹⁰Consumetur nequitia peccatorum, et diriges justum, scrutans corda et renes, Deus.

¹¹Justum adjutorium meum a Domino, qui salvos facit rectos corde.

¹²Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens; numquid irascitur per singulos dies?

¹³Nisi conversi fueritis, gladium suum vibrabit; arcum suum tetendit, et paravit illum.

¹⁴Et in eo paravit vasa mortis, sagittas suas ardentibus effecit.

¹⁵Ecce parturiit injustitiam; concepit dolorem, et peperit iniquitatem.

¹⁶Lacum aperuit, et effodit eum; et incidit in foveam quam fecit.

¹⁷Convertetur dolor ejus in caput ejus, et in verticem ipsius iniquitas ejus descendet.

¹⁸Confitebor Domino secundum justitiam ejus, et psallam nomini Domini altissimi.

¹ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυείδ, ὃν ᾖσεν τῷ κυρίῳ ὑπὲρ τῶν λόγων Χουσεὶ υἱοῦ Ἰεμενεί.

²Κύριε ὁ θεός μου, ἐπὶ σοὶ ἤλπισα· σῶσόν με ἐκ πάντων τῶν διωκόντων με καὶ ῥῦσαί με,

³μή ποτε ἁρπάσῃ ὡς λέων τὴν ψυχήν μου, μὴ ὄντος λυτρουμένου μηδὲ σώζοντος.

⁴Κύριε ὁ θεός μου, εἰ ἐποίησα τοῦτο, εἰ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν χερσίν μου,

⁵εἰ ἀνταπέδωκα τοῖς ἀνταποδιδοῦσίν μοι κακά, ἀποπέσοιμι ἄρα ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου κενός·

⁶καταδιώξαι ἄρα ὁ ἐχθρὸς τὴν ψυχήν μου καὶ καταλάβοι, καὶ καταπατήσαι εἰς γῆν τὴν ζωήν μου, καὶ τὴν δόξαν μου εἰς χοῦν κατασκηνώσαι. διάψαλμα.

⁷ἀνάστηθι, Κύριε, ἐν ὀργῇ σου, ὑψώθητι ἐν τοῖς πέρασι τῶν ἐχθρῶν μου· ἐξεγέρθητι, Κύριε ὁ θεός μου, ἐν προστάγματι ᾧ ἐνετείλω.

⁸καὶ συναγωγὴ λαῶν κυκλώσει σε· καὶ ὑπὲρ ταύτης εἰς ὕψος ἐπίστρεψον.

⁹Κύριος κρινεῖ λαούς· κρῖνόν με, Κύριε, κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην μου καὶ κατὰ τὴν ἀκακίαν μου ἐπ᾽ ἐμοί.

¹⁰συντελεσθήτω δὴ πονηρία ἁμαρτωλῶν, καὶ κατευθυνεῖς δίκαιον· ἐτάζων καρδίας καὶ νεφροὺς ὁ θεός.

¹¹δικαία ἡ βοήθειά μου παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ σώζοντος τοὺς εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

¹²ὁ θεὸς κριτὴς δίκαιος καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ μακρόθυμος, μὴ ὀργὴν ἐπάγων καθ᾽ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν.

¹³ἐὰν μὴ ἐπιστραφῆτε, τὴν ῥομφαίαν αὐτοῦ στιλβώσει· τὸ τόξον αὐτοῦ ἐνέτεινεν, καὶ ἡτοίμασεν αὐτό·

¹⁴καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἡτοίμασεν σκεύη θανάτου, τὰ βέλη αὐτοῦ τοῖς καιομένοις ἐξειργάσατο.

¹⁵ἰδοὺ ὠδίνησεν ἀνομίαν, συνέλαβεν πόνον καὶ ἔτεκεν ἀδικίαν·

¹⁶λάκκον ὤρυξεν καὶ ἀνέσκαψεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἐνπεσεῖται εἰς βόθρον ὃν εἰργάσατο·

¹⁷ἐπιστρέψει ὁ πόνος αὐτοῦ εἰς κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐπὶ κορυφὴν αὐτοῦ ἡ ἀδικία αὐτοῦ καταβήσεται.

¹⁸ἐξομολογήσομαι Κυρίῳ κατὰ τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ, καὶ ψαλῶ τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου τοῦ ὑψίστου.
