Psalms 7:6 (KJ21)
Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger; lift up Thyself against the rage of mine enemies, and awaken for me the judgment that Thou hast commanded.

Psalms 7:6 (NAS)
Arise, O LORD, in Thine anger; Lift up Thyself against the rage of my adversaries, And arouse Thyself for me; Thou hast appointed judgment.

Psalms 7:6 (NIVUS)
Arise, O LORD, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice.

Psalms 7:6 (NLT)
Arise, O LORD, in anger! Stand up against the fury of my enemies! Wake up, my God, and bring justice!

None of us want to be on receiving end of another's anger, but we all have been. It is not a pleasant place to be. This is why you should do what you can to not arouse the anger of the Almighty, for you are no match for the Lord Most High.

Your enemies and adversaries, in their pride, do not realize that when they antagonize you, they are also antagonizing Jehovah the Lord. And He will rise up to help you. He will lift you up and strengthen you. You will be established and sure.

However, in His anger, with His nostrils flaring, the Lord will rise up and advance against your foes. Even in His burning, He will still extend pardon and forgiveness, but if they refuse, He will cast them down. In rage and passion, He will come against them, for they have alienated themselves from Him. They will fail and be overrun. In their transgression, they shall perish.

The Lord will open your eyes to the favorable verdict that He has ordained for you, but your enemies will have a sentence pronounced against them. You shall receive the justice and vindication appointed for you, but your adversaries' crimes will be judged. God will defend and contend for you, but He will punish His enemies. Adonai will judge between right and wrong; then He will put everything in its proper order.
