Psalm 7:11-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

11. God is a righteous judge,and a God who feels indignation every day.

12. If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;he has bent and readied his bow;

13. he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,making his arrows fiery shafts.

14. Behold, the wicked man conceives eviland is pregnant with mischiefand gives birth to lies.

15. He makes a pit, digging it out,and falls into the hole that he has made.

16. His mischief returns upon his own head,and on his own skull his violence descends.

17. I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
