Context of Psalms 7:10
8You, Lord, judge the people of all nations. Lord, Most High God, say that I am not guilty. Truly, I am righteous and honest. 9Stop wicked people from doing evil things. Keep your own people safe. You always do what is right, and you know how we think and feel. The Most High God is like a shield to keep me safe. He takes care of good, honest people. 11God is a judge who is fair. Every day he is angry against wicked people. 12If they do not change the way that they live, God will prepare to punish them. He will make his sword sharp, and he will put an arrow in his bow.
