The Psalter of David
6 For in death there is no remembrance of Thee: in the grave who shall praise Thee?
7 I am weary with my groanings: every night I wash my bed, with my tears I wet my bed.
8 My eye is dry with sorrow, it is worn out by all my enemies.
9 Get away from me, all you who do iniquity, for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping,
10 The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will accept my prayer.
11 Let all my enemies be put to shame and cruelly smitten; let them return and be ashamed in a moment.
Psalm 7
1 The lamentation which David sang to the Lord concerning the cause of Cush, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 O Lord my God! in Thee I trust; save me from all my persecutors, and deliver me;
3 Let him not pluck out my soul like a lion, tearing me to pieces, when there is no one to deliver.
4 O Lord my God! If I have done anything, if there is iniquity in my hands,
5 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me, I, who saved even him who had become my enemy without cause,
6 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake me, let him trample my life into the ground, and cast my glory into the dust.
7 Arise, O Lord, in thy wrath; Be moved against the fury of my enemies, awaken unto me to the judgment which thou hast commanded;
8 A multitude of people will stand round about Thee; Rise above it to the heights.
9 The Lord judges the nations. Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to my integrity in me.
10 Let the wickedness of the wicked cease, and strengthen the righteous, for thou hast searched hearts and bowels, O righteous God.
11 My shield is in God, who saves the upright in heart.
12 God is a righteous judge, and a God who searches severely all the day,
13 If anyone does not convert. He sharpens his sword, and bends his bow, and directs it;
14 He prepares for him vessels of death, He makes His arrows scorching.
