Psalms 7

Amplified Bible, 2015 (AMP)

Switch Version:

¹ I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD [and in His strength]; I will make mention of Your righteousness, Yours alone.

² O God, You have taught me from my youth, And I still declare Your wondrous works and miraculous deeds.

³ And even when I am old and gray-headed, O God, do not abandon me, Until I declare Your [mighty] strength to this generation, Your power to all who are to come.

⁴ Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the [height of the] heavens, You who have done great things; O God, who is like You, [who is Your equal]?

⁵ You who have shown[2] me many troubles and distresses Will revive and renew me again, And will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.

⁶ May You increase my greatness (honor) And turn to comfort me.

⁷ I will also praise You with the harp, Your truth and faithfulness, O my God; To You I will sing praises with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.

⁸ My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to You, And my soul, which You have redeemed.

⁹ My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness all day long; For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my injury.

¹⁰ A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king [knowledge of] Your judgments, O God, And [the spirit of] Your righteousness to the king's son [to guide all his ways].

¹¹ May he judge Your people with righteousness, And Your afflicted with justice.

¹² The mountains will bring peace and prosperity to the people, And the hills, in [the establishment of] righteousness.

¹³ May he bring justice to the poor among the people, Save the children of the needy And crush the oppressor,

¹⁴ Let them fear You [with awe-inspired reverence and worship You with obedience] while the sun endures, And as long as the moon [reflects light], throughout all generations.

¹⁵ May he come down like rain on the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth.

¹⁶ In his days may the righteous flourish, And peace abound until the moon is no more.

¹⁷ May he also rule from sea to sea And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.
