Psalms, 7
7. Rise up, LORD, in your anger; rise against the fury of my foes. Wake to judge as you have decreed.

Psalm 7 is a prayer of David, in which he cries to God to free him from his enemies. He expresses his confidence in God's righteousness and asks him to judge his cause. The following verses are related to the topics addressed in this psalm:
Psalm 3:4 - "With my voice I cry to the Lord, and He from His Holy Mount answers me." Just as David cries to God in his affliction, the psalmist here also expresses his confidence in God's response to his cry.
Psalm 17:6 - "I invoid you, O God, for you answer me; include your ears to me, and hear my speech." David asks God to hear his cause in the midst of persecution, and here the psalmist does the same.
Psalm 28:1 - "To you, O Lord, I cry; you are my rock; do not go to you to me; do not happen, silent you about me, that I be similar to those who descend to the grave." Just as David trusts in God as his rock and salvation, the psalmist cries to God not to shut up at his affliction.
Psalm 35:23 - "Wake up, and wake up to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!" David asks God to awaken to judge his cause and defend his righteousness, and here the psalmist does the same.
Psalm 55:16-17-"As for me, I will invoke God, and the Lord shall save me. In the afternoon, and in the morning, and at noon, I will pray; and I will cry, and he will hear my voice." David cries out God at all times, and here the psalmist expresses his intention to do the same to be heard by God in his cause.
