Now therefore stand still, that I may reason with you before the LORD of all the righteous acts of the LORD, which he did to you and to your fathers.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 12 of 1 Samuel. Samuel presents his public record before Israel and challenges the people to identify any abuse he has committed. The statement functions as a defense of his integrity and as a transition between the period of the judges and the monarchy. Samuel recalls events from national history to demonstrate that God has repeatedly delivered Israel. A change of government does not mean a change of Lord: the people still belong to God and remain accountable to him.

So tretet nun her, daß ich mit euch rechte vor dem HERRN über alle Wohltat des HERRN, die er an euch und euren Vätern getan hat.
Ahora pues, aguardad, y yo os haré cargo delante de Jehová de todas las justicias de Jehová, que ha hecho con vosotros y con vuestros padres.
Ahora preséntense, y discutiré con ustedes delante de Jehová acerca de todos los actos justos que Jehová ha hecho con ustedes y con sus antepasados.
Maintenant, présentez-vous, et je vous jugerai devant l'Eternel sur tous les bienfaits que l'Eternel vous a accordés, à vous et à vos pères.
Ma ora comparite qua, ed io contenderò in giudicio con voi, nel cospetto del Signore, intorno a tutte le opere giuste che il Signore ha fatte inverso voi, e inverso i vostri padri.
Agora, pois, ponde-vos aqui em pé, e pleitearei convosco perante o SENHOR, sobre todos os atos de justiça do SENHOR, que fez a vós e a vossos pais.
現在你們要站住,讓我在耶和華面前,以耶和華向你們和你們祖先所行一切公義的事來和你們爭辯。
