Psalms 7:5

Integrity

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,

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.

7 Let the assembled peoples gather around You; take Your seat over them on high.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
