With God; Against Evil

Psalms 7:9
O let the evil of the wicked come to an end, but establish the righteous;
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.

When David calls to God to let the evil of the wicked come to an end, he is doing so because he understands that God and evil are on opposing sides in this world.  At the end of history God wins, and if God wins evil is finally and fully defeated.  So here David is calling for God to win, a call in which we should join him.  

If God is opposed to evil, then we should be implacably opposed to it as well.
