Psalm 7:8
Psalm 7:8
The Lord shall judge the people: judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity.
The prayer of the psalmist in this verse is a cry for God’s judgment based on His righteousness and the integrity of His servant. This verse highlights the idea that integrity is not only a personal attribute but also something that invites divine judgment. It speaks to the believer’s desire for God's favor and justice, asking for vindication based on the purity of their heart. Integrity is the foundation for a life that is pleasing to God, and it is something that God cherishes. The psalmist seeks not only personal righteousness but the justice of God to be poured out according to his integrity. This shows us the importance of living with a clear conscience, knowing that our integrity aligns us with God’s truth and opens the door for His justice to prevail in our lives.

Proverbs 13:6
Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
