Psalms 7:8-9

[8] The LORD  shall judge  the people:  judge  me, O LORD,  according to my righteousness,  and according to mine integrity  [9] Oh let the wickedness  of the wicked  come to an end;  but establish  the just:  God  trieth  the hearts  and reins. 

What does Psalms 7:8-9 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

One of God"s functions as Judge is to vindicate the righteous and condemn the guilty. David called on Him to do so in his case. To vindicate means to show a righteous person to be righteous when others have accused him or her of being wicked. It is fitting for God to establish the righteous and to destroy the wicked because He is righteous Himself.
