Psalms 7:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 7:3

Prayer and Praise for Deliverance from Enemies

A Meditation of David, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

1 O Lord my God, in You I put my trust;
^aSave me from all those who persecute me;
And deliver me,

2 ^aLest they tear me like a lion,
^bRending me in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

3 O Lord my God, ^aif I have done this:
If there is ^biniquity in my hands,

4 If I have repaid evil to him who was at peace with me,
Or ^ahave plundered my enemy without cause,

5 Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me;
Yes, let him trample my life to the earth,
And lay my honor in the dust. Selah

6 Arise, O Lord, in Your anger;
^aLift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies;
^bRise up¹ for me to the judgment You have commanded!

7 So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You;
For their sakes, therefore, return on high.
