psalm-7:12-14

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 7:10-17

David having lodged his appeal with God by prayer and a solemn profession of his integrity, in the former part of the psalm, in this latter part does, as it were, take out judgment upon the appeal, by faith in the word of God, and the assurance it gives of the happiness and safety of the righteous and the certain destruction of wicked people that continue impenitent. I. David is confident that he shall find God his powerful protector and Saviour, and the patron of his oppressed innocency (Ps.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 7:12

If he turn not ,.... Not God, but the enemy, or the wicked man, spoken of Psalm 7:5 ; if he turn not from his wicked course of life, to the Lord to live to him, and according to his will; unless he is converted and repents of his sin, and there is a change wrought in him, in his heart and life; the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "if ye turn not", or "are not converted", an apostrophe to the wicked; he will whet his sword : God is a man of war, and he is... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 7:13

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death ,.... The weapons of his indignation, Isaiah 13:5 ; which, will issue both in the first and second death, corporeal and eternal; the instruments of the former are diseases of various kinds, and judgments, as famine, pestilence, &c.; and of the latter not only the law is an instrument of it, that being the letter which kills, and is the ministration of condemnation and death, but even the Gospel itself to wicked men is the savour of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 7:14

Behold, he travaileth with iniquity ,.... Is full of it, and big with it, as a woman with child, and eagerly desires to bring it forth, and is in pain till he commits it; and hath conceived mischief ; that which is injurious to God and the perfections of his nature, a transgression of his law, and an affront to his justice and holiness, is doing wrong to fellow creatures, and harm to themselves, either to their name and credit, or to their substance and estates, or to their bodies and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 7:12

If he turn not - This clause the Syriac adds to the preceding verse. Most of the versions read, "If ye return not." Some contend, and not without a great show of probability, that the two verses should be read in connection, thus: "God is a just Judge; a God who is provoked every day. If (the sinner) turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready." This, no doubt, gives the sense of both. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 7:13

He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death - This appears to be all a prophecy of the tragical death of Saul. He was wounded by the arrows of the Philistines; and his own keen sword, on which he fell, terminated his woful days! read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 7:14

He travaileth with iniquity - All these terms show the pitch of envy, wrath, and malevolence, to which Saul had carried his opposition against David. He conceived mischief; he travailed with iniquity; he brought forth falsehood - all his expectations were blasted. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 7:12

Verse 12 12If he turn not These verses are usually explained in two ways. The meaning is, that if David’s enemies should persevere in their malicious designs against him, there is denounced against them the vengeance which their obstinate wickedness deserves. Accordingly, in the second clause, they supply the name of God, —If he turn not, GOD will whet his sword; (115) as if it had been said, If my enemy do not repent, (116) he shall, at length, feel that God is completely armed for the purpose... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 7:14

Verse 14 14Behold, he shall travail David has hitherto shown how great and formidable the danger was which was near him. In this verse, laughing to scorn the presumptuous and foolish attempts of Saul, and his magnificent preparations, he declares that they had failed of accomplishing their object. (121) By the demonstrative adverb Behold, he enhances the wonder, inasmuch as such a result fell out, on his part altogether unlooked for. Behold, says he, after he has travailed to bring forth... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 7:1-17

"Shiggaion" is connected by some with the "Shigioneth" of Habakkuk 3:1 , which is commonly explained to be a particular kind of tune or tunes. But the identity of the two words is uncertain, and the identity of their meaning, at an interval of nearly six centuries, is still more open to question. The meaning of "Shiggaion" has really to be guessed from the context; and the most probable of the conjectures made would seem to be, either simply, "a poem of David," or "a lyrical... read more
