The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

Verse 8 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.

daß sich die Völker um dich sammeln; und über ihnen kehre wieder zur Höhe.
Jehová juzgará los pueblos: Júzgame, oh Jehová, conforme a mi justicia y conforme a mi integridad.
Jehová juzga a los pueblos. Júzgame, Jehová, conforme a mi justicia y a la integridad que hay en mí.
L'Eternel juge les peuples: Rends-moi justice, ô Eternel! Selon mon droit et selon mon innocence!
Il Signore giudicherà i popoli; Signore, giudicami; Giudica di me secondo la mia giustizia, e la mia integrità.
O SENHOR julgará os povos; julga-me, SENHOR, conforme a minha justiça, e conforme a integridade que há em mim.
耶和華向萬民施行審判; 耶和華啊,求你按我的公義 和我心中的純正判斷我。
