Psalm 7 - Vindicate Me by Shane Heilman O LORD, my God, in You I place my trust O LORD, my God, in You I place my trust Rescue me from those who persecute me And deliver me Or they’ll devour my soul like a lion Tearing me to pieces while my screams ring out in vain O LORD, my God, if I have done what they say If I’m the one in the wrong If I have rewarded evil unto one who was at peace with me Then let my enemies come and have their way with me Let them take everything Let them take their shots at me until I’m dead And drag my name through the dirt Selah Arise, rise, rise, LORD, in Your anger And wage, wage war against the anger of my enemies Gather them into Your courts of justice Ascend to Your judgment seat And rain down justice from Your holy throne Declare them guilty as they are Acquit me of their charges and vindicate me According to my innocence and my integrity For the righteous God searches the mind and heart He will establish the just and end all wickedness And I have a shield from God who rescues those in the right And every day His anger burns against the wicked ones And if they will not turn around… He has sharpened His sword And He has bent back His bow And taken aim with His arrows He set on fire Because His foes are intent on evil And they conceive nothing but worthless lies And they have set a trap for me to fall into But they will fall into the pit they made Their evil will recoil and return to them Their violence will come back around And ruin them instead And I will praise the LORD According to His righteousness And I will sing praise to the Most High
