7:1

Book I: The Shiggayon of Dawid and the Appeal to the Supreme Judge

Shiggayon of Dawid, which he sang unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, concerning the words of Kuwsh the Benyamiynite. O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 my Alahiym, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

7:2

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

7:3

The Oath of Clearance

O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 my Alahiym, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;

7:4

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

7:5

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay my Kabad in the dust. Selah.

7:6

The Call for the Court to Awake

Arise, O 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7:7

The Compass of the Qahal

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

7:8

The Demand for Righteous Judgment

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

7:9

The Searcher of Hearts

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