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.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 7:5 in context
Psalms 7:2–8
2
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion,
ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.
3
LORD, my God, if I have done this,
if there is iniquity in my hands,
4
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me
(yes, I have plundered him who without cause was my adversary),
5
Selected verse
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.
6
Arise, LORD, in your anger.
Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries.
Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
7
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you.
Rule over them on high.

The LORD administers judgment to the peoples.
Judge me, LORD, according to my righteousness,
and to my integrity that is in me.
