Psalms 7:6-7

[6] Arise,  O LORD,  in thine anger,  lift up  thyself because of the rage  of mine enemies:  and awake  for me to the judgment  that thou hast commanded.  [7] So shall the congregation  of the people  compass thee about:  for their sakes therefore return  thou on high. 

What does Psalms 7:6-7 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

David called on God-as the Judge of everyone-to act for him by executing justice in his case. He assumed God would be angry with his enemies since David was innocent and his adversaries were guilty. As a result of God"s just judgment, the nation of Israel would rally around Him. Moreover, He would enjoy honor when the people realized that He was ruling over them as their true King.
