Psalm 7:2

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 7:1-17

INTRODUCTION“From the matter of this psalm it appears that it was composed with reference to some calumny on the character of David; but commentators are not agreed as to when and by whom this injury was inflicted. Perhaps the conduct of Doeg might give occasion to this poem, inasmuch as this man had grossly misrepresented David to Saul, and insinuated that he was conspiring against the life of his king; whereas the very reverse of this statement was the truth.”—Phillips.THE EXTREMITY AND... read more

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.

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 7:2While there is none to deliver. Times when there must be a GodWhy pray so loudly, clearly, and distinctly? Because the enemy is mighty, and he may “tear my soul like a lion . . . while there is none to deliver.” If it be a question between man and man, woe betide the weak! If the great battles of human existence are to be measured by the strength of the contending parties, virtue will be thrown down, discrowned, destroyed. But there are times when there must be a God: controversy... read more
