Psalms 7:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 7:13

11 God is a just judge,
And God is angry with the wicked every day.

12 If he does not turn back,
He will ^asharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.

13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts.

14 ^aBehold, the wicked brings forth iniquity;
Yes, he conceives trouble and brings forth falsehood.

15 He made a pit and dug it out,
^aAnd has fallen into the ditch which he made.

16 ^aHis trouble shall return upon his own head,
And his violent dealing shall come down on¹ his own crown.

17 I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.
