Psalms 7:1

Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Don’t say, “I will pay back evil.” Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you.

But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.

Don’t be afraid because of them, for I am with you to rescue you,” says Yahweh.

I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall. They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you,” says Yahweh.

Yes, no one who waits for you will be shamed. They will be shamed who deal treacherously without cause.

I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.

They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you”, says Yahweh, “to rescue you.”

Let them be disappointed who persecute me, but let not me be disappointed. Let them be dismayed, but don’t let me be dismayed. Bring on them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.

Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.

Yahweh is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Let them be disappointed and confounded together who seek after my soul to destroy it. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

I will bring an everlasting reproach on you, and a perpetual shame, which will not be forgotten.’ ”

The eternal God is your dwelling place. Underneath are the everlasting arms. He thrust out the enemy from before you, and said, ‘Destroy!’

May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Uphold me with a willing spirit.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Come, and see God’s deeds— awesome work on behalf of the children of men.

Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.

For the Son of Man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will render to everyone according to his deeds.

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

For this cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.

I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;

My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.

Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Break their teeth, God, in their mouth. Break out the great teeth of the young lions, Yahweh.

Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Yahweh, you know. Remember me, visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors. You are patient, so don’t take me away. Know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
