시편 7편은 다윗의 이름이 붙은 탄원시로, 쫓기는 시인이 자기의 무죄를 하나님 앞에 맹세하듯 아뢰고, 의로운 재판장이신 하나님께 심판을 구한 뒤 찬양을 다짐하는 노래이다.

7Psalms · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹You, Lord God, are my protector. Rescue me and keep me safe from all who chase me.

²Or else they will rip me apart like lions attacking a victim, and no one will save me.

³I am innocent, Lord God!

⁴I have not betrayed a friend or had pity on an enemy who attacks for no reason.

⁵If I have done any of this, then let my enemies chase and capture me. Let them trample me to death and leave me in the dirt.

⁶Get angry, Lord God! Do something! Attack my furious enemies. See that justice is done.

⁷Make the nations come to you, as you sit on your throne above them all.

⁸Our Lord, judge the nations! Judge me and show that I am honest and innocent.

⁹You know every heart and mind, and you always do right. Now make violent people stop, but protect all of us who obey you.

¹⁰You, God, are my shield, the protector of everyone whose heart is right.

¹¹You see that justice is done, and each day you take revenge.

¹²Whenever your enemies refuse to change their ways, you sharpen your sword and string your bow.

¹³Your deadly arrows are ready with flaming tips.

¹⁴An evil person is like a woman about to give birth to a hateful, deceitful, and rebellious child.

¹⁵Such people dig a deep hole, then fall in it themselves.

¹⁶The trouble they cause comes back on them, and their heads are crushed by their own evil deeds.

¹⁷I will praise you, Lord! You always do right. I will sing about you, the Lord Most High.
