Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 7:10

"My shield is with God,Who saveth the upright in heart.God is a righteous judge,Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.""Indignation every day." God is angry with the wicked "every day," and presumably that is the indignation indicated here. The righteous are protected and blessed by the Lord who is a shield about them, protecting and preserving them from the ravages of the wicked.The last six verses (Psalms 7:12-17) return to a description of God's judgment upon evil men, who appear here... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 7:1-17

Psalms 7In the title, "shiggaion" probably means a poem with intense feeling. [Note: A. F. Kirkpatrick, Psalms, p. xx; Ross, p. 796.] Cush, the Benjamite, received no other mention elsewhere in the Bible. The Benjamites were, of course, King Saul’s relatives who were hostile to David before and after David became king.David prayed for deliverance from his enemies on the ground that he was innocent, and he asked God to vindicate him by judging them. Elements of an individual lament (Psalms... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 7:10-11

David counted on God to defend him as a shield, since God saves the upright in heart, and David was upright. His confidence lay also in God’s righteous character. God would judge justly, and injustice touches His heart as well as His head. Even though God does not always judge as quickly as His people want, injustice does not escape His eye, and one day He will judge righteously (cf. 2 Peter 3:9). In view of this, we can leave vengeance up to Him (Romans 12:19; Hebrews 10:30). read more

John Dummelow

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 7:1-17

This Ps. is an appeal to God as the righteous Judge against an ungrateful and vindictive enemy. Nothing is known of Cush the Benjamite, but the case of Shimei affords a parallel to the circumstances here referred to (2 Samuel 18:21). The absenee of any Scripture mention of Cush makes it all the more probable that the title of this Ps. is genuine, and not invented. The Psalmist asserts his own innocence (Psalms 7:1-6), calls on God, the righteous Judge of all the earth, to exercise His power... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 7:10

(10) My defence.—Literally, as in margin, my shield is upon God. (Comp. Psalms 62:7, “In God is my salvation,” where the Hebrew is as here, “God is my shield-bearer.”) Another explanation appears in Milton’s translation—“On God is castMy defence, and in Him lies,In Him who both just and wise,Saves the upright at heart at last.” read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 7:1-17

Psalms 7:1-17THIS is the only psalm with the title "Shiggaion." The word occurs only here and in Habakkuk 3:1, where it stands in the plural, and with the preposition "upon," as if it designated instruments. The meaning is unknown, and commentators, who do not like to say so, have much ado to find one. The root is a verb, "to wander," and the explanation is common that the word describes the disconnected character of the psalm, which is full of swiftly succeeding emotions rather than of sequent... read more

Thanksgiving (Psalms 7:17 ) Psalms 7:1-2 . It has been suggested that over this Psalm should be written the sentence, “Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?” David appealed to God to judge His cause, that a righteous God cannot but save the righteous and judge the wicked. David sang this unto the Lord... read more
