Psalms 7:8 - Exposition

The Lord shall judge the people . Hitherto judgment has been prayed for, now it is announced, "The Lord shall judge "—shall decide between David and his enemies—shall judge them in his anger, and at the same time judge David, i.e. vindicate his cause. David has no desire to escape this judgment Judge me , he says , O Lord, according to my righteousness . Judge me, i.e; and, if thou findest me righteous, acquit me and vindicate me. And according to mine integrity that is in me ; literally, which is on me (comp. Job 29:24 , "I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my judgment was as a robe and a diadem").
