Psalms 7:5 Context
3O Lord my God, if I haue done this; if there be iniquitie in my hands: 4If I haue rewarded euill vnto him that was at peace with me: (yea I haue deliuered him that without cause is mine enemie.) 5Let the enemie persecute my soule, and take it, yea let him tread downe my life vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift vp thy selfe, because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the iudgement that thou hast commanded. 7So shall the congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne thou on high.
