Psalm 7
David implies (correctly) in this Psalm that God is the only one appropriate to judge - see here. We must be careful of trying to mete out our own brand of justice - see also post here. As part of this God, also says we should not gossip.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are the only one worthy to be Judge. And You are just...all discipline that you pour out on me is for my good and Your glory. No sin is unnoticed in Your eyes. I can rest secure in Your righteousness. Thank You Jesus! Yet often I don't. I see sin and I want my own brand of justice - please forgive me Jesus. Help me overcome and turn from my sin and towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give me strength. Give Lisa strength. Please heal and cure her of her cancer and the side effects of chemo and radiation. Help me lead and serve Lisa, Zach and Dustin, and serve You. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Arise, Lord, in your anger; rise up against the rage of my enemies. Awake, my God; decree justice. v6

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You
hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will
see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. Matthew 7:3-5
For I am afraid that when I come I may not find you as I want you to be, and you may not find me as you want me to be. I fear that there may be discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder. 2 Corinthians 12:20
