Context of Psalms 7:6

4If I have rewarded evil to him that was at peace with me; (indeed I have freed him that without cause oppressed me;) 5Let the enemy pursue after my soul, and take [it], and let him tread down my life to the earth, and lay my glory in the dust. Selah. Arise, Jehovah, in thine anger; lift thyself up against the raging of mine oppressors, and awake for me: thou hast commanded judgment. 7And the assembly of the peoples shall encompass thee; and for their sakes return thou on high. 8Jehovah shall minister judgment to the peoples. Judge me, Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity which is in me.
