Verse 5 is found in chapter 7 of Psalms. Psalm 7 takes the form of a judicial appeal before God. The psalmist, falsely accused or persecuted, asks the Lord to examine his heart and judge according to truth. The central section affirms that God is a righteous judge and that his anger is directed against persistent evil. The image of violence ultimately falling back upon the one who prepares it expresses a conception of divine retributive justice and finally leads to praise.
