Psalms 7:8

JusticeIntegrityJudgment

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.

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.

10 My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.
