Psalms 7:10
8 The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.
9 Put an end to the evil of the wicked, but establish the righteous, O righteous God who searches hearts and minds.
My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge and a God who feels indignation each day.
12 If one does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent and strung His bow.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
