7:2 Lest {a} he tear my soul like a lion, rending [it] in pieces, while [there is] none to deliver.
(a) He desires God to deliver him from the rage of cruel Saul.

7:3 O LORD my God, if I have done {b} this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
(b) With which Cush charges me.

7:4 {c} If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me;
(yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
(c) If I did not reverence Saul for affinities sake, and preserved his life, [1 Samuel 26:8-9](../../../kjv/1-samuel/26/8-9).

7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take [it]; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine {d} honour in the dust. Selah.
(d) Let me not only die, but be dishonoured forever.

7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me [to] the {e} judgment [that] thou hast commanded.
(e) In promising me the kingdom.

7:7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore {f} return thou on high.
(f) Not only for mine, but for your Church’s sake declare your power.

7:8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my {g} righteousness, and according to mine integrity [that is] in me.
(g) As concerning my behaviour towards Saul and my enemies.

7:9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the {h} hearts and reins.
(h) Though they pretend a just cause against me, yet God will judge their hypocrisy.

7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry [with the wicked] {i} every day.
(i) He continually calls the wicked to repentance by some sign of his judgments.

7:12 If {k} he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
(k) Unless Saul changes his mind, I will die, for he has both the men and weapons to destroy me. Thus considering his great danger, he magnifies God’s grace.

7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his {l} righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
(l) In faithfully keeping his promise to me.
