7:6 耶和華啊,求你在怒中起來,挺身而立,抵擋我敵人的暴怒!求你為我興起!你已經命定施行審判!
7:7 願眾民的會環繞你!願你從其上歸於高位!
7:8 耶和華向眾民施行審判;耶和華啊,求你按我的公義和我心中的純正判斷我。
7:9 願惡人的惡斷絕!願你堅立義人!因為公義的上帝察驗人的心腸肺腑。
7:10 上帝是我的盾牌;他拯救心裡正直的人。
7:11 上帝是公義的審判者,又是天天向惡人發怒的上帝。
7:12 若有人不回頭,他的刀必磨快,弓必上弦,預備妥當了。
7:13 他也預備了殺人的器械;他所射的是火箭。
7:14 試看惡人因奸惡而劬勞,所懷的是毒害,所生的是虛假。
7:15 他掘了坑,又挖深了,竟掉在自己所挖的阱裡。
7:16 他的毒害必臨到他自己的頭上;他的強暴必落到他自己的腦袋上。
7:17 我要照著耶和華的公義稱謝他,歌頌耶和華至高者的名。

6 Arise,
Lord, in your anger;
rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
while you sit enthroned over them on high.
8 Let the Lord judge the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,
according to my integrity, O Most High.
9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
and make the righteous secure—
you, the righteous God
who probes minds and hearts.
rise up against the rage of my enemies.
Awake, my God; decree justice.

10 My
shield[d] is God Most
High,
who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge,
a God who displays his wrath every day.
12 If he does not relent,
he[e] will sharpen his sword;
he will bend and string his bow.
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
he makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 Whoever
is pregnant with evil
conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit they have made.
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
their violence comes down on their own heads.

所謂悔改是「遠離惡事,歸向上帝」!詩人在這裡勸勉人要悔改,才不會造受到災難。因為作惡本身的下場就是會遇到災難,這是上帝不要人陷入罪惡的原因。所以,祂設立救恩,就是要人在祂的慈聲呼召下悔改。
的確,人不悔改沉溺在罪中,享受罪中之樂,最後的結果是滅亡!當然又勝過罪中之樂,必須要有受苦的心志,正如希伯來書說:「他寧可和上帝的百姓同受苦害,也不願暫時享受罪中之樂。」(希伯來書11:25)
使徒彼得也說:「基督既在肉身受苦,你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器,因為在肉身受過苦的,就已經與罪斷絕了。」(彼得前書4:1)
所以,我們要求主幫助,真的以受苦為心志,好脫離罪惡的轄致!保羅更是鼓勵我們:「既是兒女,便是後嗣,就是上帝的後嗣,和基督同作後嗣。如果我們和他一同受苦,也必和他一同得榮耀。」(羅馬書 8:17)
讓我們透過主耶穌和聖靈來更新我們的生命的,得著上帝喜悅,承受上帝永遠的國!
