Psalm 7:2 in context

The verses around it, from Psalm 7.

1 A Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite. O LORD my God, I take refuge in You; save me and deliver me from all my pursuers,

2 or they will shred my soul like a lion and tear me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 O LORD my God, if I have done this, if injustice is on my hands,

4 if I have rewarded my ally with evil, if I have plundered my foe without cause,

5 then may my enemy pursue me and overtake me; may he trample me to the ground and leave my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.
