Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Psalm 7
⁸ The Lord shall judge the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.
⁹ Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.
¹⁰ My defense is of God, Who saves the upright in heart.
¹¹ God is a just judge, And God is angry with the wicked every day.
¹² If he does not turn back, He will sharpen His sword; He bends His bow and makes it ready.
¹³ He also prepares for Himself instruments of death; He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.
¹⁴ Behold, the wicked brings forth iniquity; Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.
¹⁵ He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
¹⁶ His trouble shall return upon his own head, And his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.
¹⁷ I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
Psalm 8
¹ To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
