Psalms 7:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 7:8

6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
^aLift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
^bRise up¹ for me to the judgment You have commanded!

7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.

8 The Lord shall judge the peoples;
^aJudge me, O Lord, ^baccording to my righteousness,
And according to my integrity within me.

9 Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end,
But establish the just;
^aFor the righteous God tests the hearts and¹ minds.

10 ¹My defense is of God,
Who saves the ^aupright in heart.

11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.

12 If he does not turn back,
He will ^asharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
