What does Psalm 7:6 mean?

In this verse, David urges God to actively defend him against his furious enemies (Psalm 7:1–2). They may have been physically threatening him, as well as being those who have falsely accused David of various crimes (Psalm 7:3–5). Trusting God to make things right, David asks for divine judgment to come on those who have slandered him. David refers to the Lord as having anger . Although God is loving and loves even sinners, He does not love sin; He punishes those who sin and fail to repent. Romans 1:18 affirms: "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men." David also notes that God has appointed a judgment. Although God may judge a person's sin today, He will render a final judgment of everyone on an appointed day by His Son Jesus (Acts 17:31).

David trusted God to make matters right. Romans 12:17 tells us not to take revenge on our enemies: "Repay no one evil for evil." Verse 19 issues a similar command: "Beloved, never avenge yourselves" (Romans 12:19). It also tells us to "leave it to the wrath of God," and explains, "for it is written, 'Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.'"
