Psalm 7:17 - "Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just"
Catherine
1-2 - O LORD my God, in You do I put my trust: save me from all them
that persecute me, and deliver me: Lest he tear my soul like a lion,
rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3-4 - O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands; 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.
6-7 - Arise, O LORD, in Your anger, lift up Yourself because of the
rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that You have
commanded. So shall the congregation of the people compass You about:
for their sakes therefore, Lord, return on high.
8-9 - The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according
to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the
just: for the righteous God tries the hearts and reins.
10-11 - My defence is of God, which saves the upright in heart. God
judges the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.
12-13 - If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he has bent his bow,
and made it ready. He has also prepared for him the instruments of
death; he ordains his arrows against the persecutors.
14-16 - Behold, he travails with iniquity, and has conceived
mischief, and brought forth falsehood. He made a pit, and digged it,
and is fallen into the ditch which he made. His mischief shall return
upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his
own head..
17 - I will praise the LORD according to His righteousness: and will
sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
