Lift up Thyself in rage (lit. rages, pi.) against my adversaries: – In Thy rage (sing.) against them, as he says, in Thine anger; or its interpretation is "against the rage" (pl.) which my adversaries have against me, do Thou lift up Thyself against them and deliver me from their hand.

Rashi on Psalms

and awaken for me that I should be able to execute upon them the judgment of revenge that You commanded. Now where did You command [it]? “You shall break them with an iron rod” (above 2:9). “Then I will be an enemy to your enemies” (Exod. 23:22). I found this in the Midrash (Mid. Ps. 7:6; Tan. Ki Thissa 20, Buber 13 with variations).
