Psalms 7:11

The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 7:11

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

God judgeth the righteous; rather, God is a righteous Judge. So Rosenmuller, Bishop Horsley, Dr. Kay, the 'Speaker's Commentary,' and the Revised Version. And God is angry with the wicked every day. There is no need of inserting the words, "with the wicked," since, of course, it is with the wicked that God is angry.

What the psalmist means to assert especially is that God's anger continues against the wicked as long as their wickedness continues.
