Selah. 6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me *to* the judgment *that* thou hast commanded. 7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high. 8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity *that is* in me. 9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins. 10 My defence *is* of God, which saveth the upright in heart.* 11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry *with the wicked* every day.* 12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. 14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood. 15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch *which* he made.* 16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate. 17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high. [Psalms 6](/study/psalms/6) [Psalms 8](/study/psalms/8) ## Commentary To verse 1 [Psalms 7:0](/kjv/psalms/7/0). *David prayeth against the malice of his enemies, professing his innocency.* *By faith he seeth his defence, and their destruction.* Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. ***Title.*****לדוד********שׁגיון*********Shiggaion ledavid. Shiggaion of David*****—** *Cantio erratica.*Houbigant. *A wandering song,*says Parkhurst, after Fenwick; a song of *wanderings,*probably composed by David in his wandering, when persecuted by Saul and his servants; in which the Psalmist stands as a type of Christ and his church, persecuted by Satan and his adherents. Who this *Cush*was, we are nowhere told, if he be not the same with Shimei. He seems by the 3rd and 4th verses to have reproached David, much in the same manner as Shimei did, with his ingratitude to Saul. Some are of opinion, that by *Cush,*or *Cis,*is meant Saul himself, the son of *Cis;*and they have some countenance for their conjecture from the title of the Chaldee; "The interpretation of an ode of David, which he sung before the Lord, when he delivered a poem upon the death of Saul, the son of *Cis,*who was of the tribe of Benjamin." The full and strong terms, however, in which the person speaking in this psalm declares his innocence, and indeed the whole subject matter of it, seems to assure us, that, on whatever occasion David wrote it, the Holy Spirit led him to use words which, in their full and most proper sense, must have been designed for the mouth of him who was perfectly righteous, and in whose *hands*there was never any *iniquity.*He begins the psalm with praying for deliverance from his enemies who pursued him; one more eminently beyond others, we may imagine, from his frequently recurring to the singular number: He then protests his innocence, and proceeds to pray God to do justice to the world and himself; supposes him sitting in judgment, Psa 7:8 and petitions him, as he is sitting, to judge impartially both good and bad. Accordingly he does so from [Psalms 7:9-13](/kjv/psalms/7/9-13). His enemy is defeated and falls into his own snare; 14-16 upon which he praises God for this act of justice. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7","name":"Psalms 7 - Study King James Bible with cokes commentary on the holy bible","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Psalms 7 with cokes commentary on the holy bible commentary. 1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me: 2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pie","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible","name":"cokes commentary on the holy bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms","name":"Psalms"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/cokes-commentary-on-the-holy-bible/psalms/7","name":"7"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
