Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 7:1-17

The title of this psalm is similar to that of Habakkuk 3:1. It is called, not a psalm, but Shiggaion or Shigionoth of David; which he sung to the Lord concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. Whether Shiggaion designates a musical instrument, or a mode of music, as the air, the symphony or melody, is uncertain. But who is Cush? We find no such name in Saul’s court; the word is always the name of a country or of its black inhabitants, who were often servants to the Israelites. But... read more

Psalms 7:9-16Let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end.The self-destroying power of wickednessThe accents require Psalms 7:9 to be rendered, “Let wickedness make an end of the wicked,” but that introduces an irrelevant thought of the suicidal nature of evil. It may be significant that the Psalmist’s prayer is not for the destruction of the wicked, but of their wickedness. Such annihilation of evil is the great end of God’s judgment, and its consequence will be the establishment of the... read more

Psalms 7:10My defence is of God, which sayeth the upright in heart. God, the shield bearer of the uprightLit.: God is my shield bearer. Fig.: I hang my shield upon God. The idea is that of going to war, and having God as the carrier, the bearer, of our shield, so that before we can be struck down, God Himself must be wounded and overpowered. “My defence is of God.” There are times when we need great defences.

Psalms 7:11God is angry with the wicked every day.God’s anger against the wickedI. Who are the “wicked” in the Scripture sense of the term? The Bible divides all the human race into two classes only--the righteous and the wicked. Those are righteous who have true faith in Christ, whose spirit is consecrated to God, who live a heavenly life on earth, and who have been renewed by the Holy Ghost. Their original selfishness is subdued and slain, and they live a new life through the ever-present... read more
