‏ Psalms 7:6

6. God is involved as if hitherto careless of him (Psa 3:7; 9:18).

rage--the most violent, like a flood rising over a river's banks.

the judgment ... commanded--or, "ordained"; a just decision.

‏ Psalms 26:1

PSALM 26

Psa 26:1-12. After appealing to God's judgment on his avowed integrity and innocence of the charges laid by his enemies, the Psalmist professes delight in God's worship, and prays for exemption from the fate of the wicked, expressing assurance of God's favor.

1. Judge--decide on my case; the appeal of innocence.

in mine integrity--freedom from blemish (compare Psa 25:21). His confidence of perseverance results from trust in God's sustaining grace.

‏ 2 Thessalonians 1:6

6. seeing it is a righteous thing--This justifies the assertion above of there being a "righteous judgment" (2Th 1:5), namely, "seeing that it is (literally, 'if at least,' 'if at all events it is') a righteous thing with (that is, in the estimation of) God" (which, as we all feel, it certainly is). Our own innate feeling of what is just, in this confirms what is revealed.

recompense--requite in kind, namely, tribulation to them that trouble you (affliction to those that afflict you); and to you who are troubled, rest from trouble.
