Psalm 7:1-5, NKJV
A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjaminite. O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge; save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, lest like a lion they tear my soul apart, rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.
O LORD my God, if I have done this, if there is wrong in my hands, if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause, let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life to the ground and lay my glory in the dust. Selah
Psalm 7:1-5, JN paraphrase
Oh LORD, my God Where else can I find refuge and deliverance from ALL my pursuers but in You? They tear at my very soul as lions at a carcass rending it without value or purpose.
Oh LORD, have I caused this through abuse of a friend or besetting of an enemy? Should this be the case, send my friend or even my enemy as Your agent of retribution. Not a shred of my pride or identity should survive; all as offal in the dust.
