The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
Psalms 7:8 — KJV
According to my righteousness. This may be understood as referring to the particular case at hand. Although we should continually feel unworthy of salvation, it is proper, when we are unjustly accused, to pray that according to His will God will vindicate us in a particular case, and declare us innocent of false charges. The word “integrity” (Heb. tom, from the root tamam, “to be complete”) parallels “righteousness,” and similarly may be understood to refer to this particular case.
