6. Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies; and awake [and stir up] for me the justice and vindication [that] You have commanded.
7. Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about You, and return on high over them.
8. The Lord judges the people; judge me, O Lord, and do me justice according to my righteousness [my rightness, justice, and right standing with You] and according to the integrity that is in me.
9. Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the [uncompromisingly] righteous [those upright and in harmony with You]; for You, Who try the hearts and emotions and thinking powers, are a righteous God. [Rev. 2:23.]
10. My defense and shield depend on God, Who saves the upright in heart.
11. God is a righteous Judge, yes, a God Who is indignant every day.
12. If a man does not turn and repent, [God] will whet His sword; He has strung and bent His [huge] bow and made it ready [by treading it with His foot].
13. He has also prepared for him deadly weapons; He makes His arrows fiery shafts.
14. Behold, [the wicked man] conceives iniquity and is pregnant with mischief and gives birth to lies.
