Selah. Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my enemies; Rise up for me; You have commanded judgment and vindication. 7Let the assembly of the nations be gathered around You, And return on high over them. 8The Lord judges the peoples; Judge me, O Lord, and grant me justice according to my righteousness and according to the integrity within me.
