Praying Psalm 7

Today we come to You for protection, O our Adonai and Moshiach. Save us from our persecutors and rescue us! If You don’t, they will maul us like a lion, tearing us to pieces with no one to rescue us. Adonai, if we have done wrong or are guilty of injustice, if we have betrayed a friend or plundered our enemies without cause, then let our enemies capture us. Let them trample us into the ground and drag our honour in the dust. Arise today, O King of Israel, in anger! Stand up against the fury of our enemies! Wake up, heavenly Father and bring justice to us! Gather the nations before You in this day. Rule over them from on high. You Adonai judges the nations. Declare us righteous Father, for we are innocent, O Most High! End the evil of those who are wicked and defend the righteous. For You look deep within the mind and heart, O righteous Shepherd. And as from today, we will always declare our God is our Shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. Gracious Father, You are an honest Judge. You are angry with the wicked every day. If a person does not repent, You will sharpen Your sword; You will bend and string Your bow. You will prepare Your deadly weapons and shoot Your flaming arrows. The wicked conceive evil; they are pregnant with trouble and give birth to lies. They dig a deep pit to trap others and then fall into it themselves. The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads. We will thank You Adonai because You are just; we will sing praise to the Name of our Adonai Most High, amein.
