Psalms 7:4

If I have requited my friend with wrong,—or have oppressed mine adversary without need,

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

In Context

5Let an enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it, that he may tread down, to the earth, my life,—and, mine honour—in the dust, he may cause to dwell. [Selah.]
