“The LORD shall judge the peoples…” Psalm 7:8a
DESCRIPTION OF AN ANCIENT COURT SCENE
The following text is an attempt to describe a court scene. It is simply but effectively portrayed.
“So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
The LORD shall judge the peoples;
Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness,
And according to the integrity within me.”
Psalm 7:7-8
1. A picture of David’s own court

There will be many who would congregate to see how the King would judge the cases brought to his attention.
