Psalms 7:6 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Arise, O Lord, in thine anger Oppose thy just anger to their causeless and sinful rage against me. Lift up thyself Hebrew, הנשׂא, hinnasee, Be thou exalted; glorify thyself, and show thyself to be above them. Awake for me to the judgment, &c. To execute that righteous sentence which thou hast commanded That is, appointed and declared by thy holy prophet Samuel. Thus to a protestation of innocence he adds a prayer for judgment upon the case, formed on two considerations: 1st, the unreasonable and unrelenting fury of his persecutors; 2d, the justice which God commanded others to execute, and which, therefore, he himself would doubtless execute on such occasions.
