Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

Verse 6 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.

so verfolge mein Feind meine Seele und ergreife sie und trete mein Leben zu Boden und lege meine Ehre in den Staub. (Sela.)
Levántate; oh Jehová, con tu furor; Álzate a causa de las iras de mis angustiadores, Y despierta en favor mío el juicio que mandaste.
¡Levántate, Jehová, en tu ira! ¡Álzate contra la furia de mis adversarios! ¡Despierta en mi favor, pues has dispuesto el juicio!
Lève-toi, ô Eternel! dans ta colère, Lève-toi contre la fureur de mes adversaires, Réveille-toi pour me secourir, ordonne un jugement!
Levati, Signore, nell’ira tua; Innalzati contro a’ furori de’ miei nemici, E destati in mio favore; tu hai ordinato il giudicio.
Levanta-te, SENHOR, na tua ira; exalta-te por causa do furor dos meus opressores; e desperta por mim para o juízo que ordenaste.
耶和華啊,求你在怒中起來, 挺身而立,抵擋我敵人的烈怒! 求你為我興起!你已經發令施行審判。
