Psa 7:6-8 | Clarke | STEP | Verse 6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger - To thee I commit my cause; arise, and sit on the throne of thy judgment in my behalf.

Psalms 7:6-8

Verse 6

Arise, O Lord, in thine anger - To thee I commit my cause; arise, and sit on the throne of thy judgment in my behalf. Verse 7

For their sakes therefore return thou on high - Thy own people who compass thy altar, the faithful of the land, are full of gloomy apprehensions. They hear the charges against me; and see how I am persecuted. Their minds are divided; they know not what to think. For their sakes, return thou on high - ascend the judgment-seat; and let them see, by the dispensations of thy providence, who is innocent and who is guilty. David feared not to make this appeal to God; for the consciousness of his innocence showed him at once how the discrimination would be made. Verse 8

The Lord shall judge the people - He will execute justice and maintain truth among them. They shall not be as sheep without a shepherd.

Judge me, O Lord - Let my innocence be brought to the light, and my just dealing made clear as the noonday.
