Psalms 7:7 Context
5Let the enemie persecute my soule, and take it, yea let him tread downe my life vpon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah. 6Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift vp thy selfe, because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the iudgement that thou hast commanded. 7So shall the congregation of the people compasse thee about: for their sakes therefore returne thou on high. 8The Lord shal iudge the people: iudge me, O Lord, according to my righteousnesse, and according to mine integritie that is in me. 9Oh let the wickednes of the wicked come to an end, but establish the iust: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reines.
