Psalm 7:3–5

2 or they will tear me apart like a lion

and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 Lord my God, if I have done this

and there is guilt on my hands—

4 if I have repaid my ally with evil

or without cause have robbed my foe—

2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,

rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,

if there is wrong in my hands,

4 if I have repaid my friend with evil

or plundered my enemy without cause,

2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion,

Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this;

If there be iniquity in my hands;

4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;

(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

2 If you don’t, they will maul me like a lion,

tearing me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done wrong

or am guilty of injustice,

4 if I have betrayed a friend

or plundered my enemy without cause,

2 Lest they tear me like a lion,

Rending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this:

If there is iniquity in my hands,

4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,

Or have plundered my enemy without cause,

2 Otherwise, like a lion they will tear me apart.

They will rip me to pieces, and no one can save me.

3 Lord my God, what have I done?

Have my hands done something wrong?

4 Have I done wrong to my friend

or stolen without reason from my enemy?

2 Lest they tear my soul like a lion,

Rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Jehovah my God, if I have done this;

If there be iniquity in my hands;

4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me

(Yea, I have delivered him that without cause was mine adversary);

2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, crushing it while there is no deliverer. 3 Jehovah my God, if I have done this, if there be iniquity in my hands; 4 If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;)

2 Like a lion they will tear me to pieces 

and drag me off with no one to rescue me. 

3 O Lord my God, 

if I have done this— 

if my hands are stained with injustice, 

4 if I have paid back my friend with evil 

or rescued someone who has no reason to attack me— 

2 or they will tear me like a lion,

ripping me apart with no one to rescue me.

3 Yahweh my God, if I have done this,

if there is injustice on my hands,

4 if I have done harm to one at peace with me

or have plundered my adversary without cause,

2 or like a lion they will tear me apart;

they will drag me away, with no one to rescue.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,

if there is wrong in my hands,

4 if I have repaid my ally with harm

or plundered my foe without cause,

2 Or else he will tear me apart like a lion,

ripping to pieces, with none to deliver.

3 O Yahweh, my God, if I have done this,

if there is wrong in my hands,

4 if I have repaid my ally with harm,

or if I have plundered my enemy without cause,

2 If you don’t, they will tear me apart as if they were lions.

They will rip me to pieces so that no one can save me.

3 Lord my God, suppose I have done something wrong.

Suppose I am guilty.

4 I have done evil to my friend.

Or I have robbed my enemy without any reason.

2 Or he will tear my soul like a lion,

Dragging me away, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,

If there is injustice in my hands,

4 If I have rewarded evil to my friend,

Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,
