Psalm 7 is a psalm of individual lament and a psalm of innocence written by David, who has apparently been accused of vicious crimes, possibly high treason. David presents the situation before God, describing how he believes his accuser, if left unchecked, will tear him to pieces. David calls for God to descend upon the earth and rule with justice, vindicating the righteous and destroying the wicked. In the end, the evil deeds of the wicked recoil on himself and praise is directed to God, in what is not an atypical turn from distress to praise in the psalter. The psalm is titled with a mysterious superscription giving clues to its historical context. This commentary explores the historical context of Psalm 7, examines its structure and features, and provides a verse-by-verse commentary. The commentary concludes with reflections for the modern Christian.
