Psalms 7:5

let the enemy persecute my soul, in just retribution, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, trampling it into extinction, and lay mine honor, his personal and official dignity, in the dust, bringing it to the deepest humiliation. Selah. It is only the sense of his innocence which can give David the assurance expressed in this offer, which is now followed by a call to revenge his wrongs.
