Psalms 7:2 in context

Psalms 7:1–5

LORD, my God, I take refuge in you.

Save me from all those who pursue me, and deliver me,

Selected verse

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,

ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

LORD, my God, if I have done this,

if there is iniquity in my hands,

if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me

(yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),

let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it;

yes, let him tread my life down to the earth,

and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
