"let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah."
— Psalms 7:5, World English Bible
“Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.”
“Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. [Selah”
“may an enemy relentlessly chase me and catch me; may he trample me to death and leave me lying dishonored in the dust.(Selah)”
“If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.”
“Let my hater go after my soul and take it; let my life be crushed to the earth, and my honour into the dust. (Selah.)”
“Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.”
lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
Yahweh, my God, if I have done this, if there is iniquity in my hands,
if I have rewarded evil to him who was at peace with me (yes, if I have delivered him who without cause was my adversary),
let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; yes, let him tread my life down to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah.
Arise, Yahweh, in your anger. Lift up yourself against the rage of my adversaries. Awake for me. You have commanded judgment.
Let the congregation of the peoples surround you. Rule over them on high.
Yahweh administers judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Yahweh, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.
