New Testament

Psalm 7:9-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

9. God, you always do what is right. You look deep down inside the hearts and minds of people. Bring to an end the terrible things sinful people do. Make godly people safe.

10. The Most High God is like a shield that keeps me safe. He saves those whose hearts are honest.

11. God judges fairly. He shows his anger every day.

12. If evil people don't change their ways, God will sharpen his sword. He will get his bow ready to use.

13. He has prepared his deadly weapons. He has made his flaming arrows ready.

14. Anyone who is full of evil plans trouble and ends up telling lies.

15. Anyone who digs a hole and shovels it out falls into the pit he has made.

16. The trouble he causes comes back on him. The terrible things he does come down on his own head.
