Context of Psalms 7:6

4If I have rewarded evil to my friend, Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary, 5Let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it; And let him trample my life down to the ground And lay my glory in the dust. Selah. Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift up Yourself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Yourself for me; You have appointed judgment. 7Let the assembly of the peoples encompass You, And over them return on high. 8The Lord judges the peoples; Vindicate me, O Lord, according to my righteousness and my integrity that is in me.
