Psalm 7
1. David prays against the malice of his enemies, professing his innocence
10. By faith he sees his defense, and the destruction of his enemies














God
The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a plural form that denotes majesty and power. It emphasizes the supreme authority and sovereignty of God over all creation. In the context of this verse, it underscores the divine nature of God as the ultimate arbiter of justice, whose judgments are perfect and beyond human reproach.

is a righteous judge
The term "righteous" comes from the Hebrew word "tsaddiq," which means just, lawful, and morally right. This highlights God's inherent nature to act in accordance with what is right and just. As a "judge," or "shaphat" in Hebrew, God is portrayed as one who not only discerns right from wrong but also administers justice. This phrase reassures believers that God's judgments are fair and that He upholds the moral order of the universe.

and a God who feels indignation
The phrase "feels indignation" is derived from the Hebrew word "za'am," which conveys a sense of anger or wrath. This is not a capricious or uncontrolled anger but a righteous indignation against sin and injustice. It reflects God's holy response to evil and His commitment to uphold righteousness. This aspect of God's character serves as a warning to the wicked and a comfort to the oppressed, affirming that God is actively engaged in addressing the wrongs of the world.

each day
The phrase "each day" emphasizes the continual and consistent nature of God's righteous indignation. It suggests that God's awareness and response to sin are not sporadic but are part of His ongoing engagement with the world. This constancy assures believers that God is ever-vigilant and that His justice is not delayed or forgotten. It serves as a reminder of the immediacy of God's presence and His active role in the moral governance of the world.

(11) God judgeth.--The two clauses answer to each other; so the margin, "God is a righteous judge, and God avengeth every day." LXX., "God is a just judge, and strong and longsuffering, not letting loose his anger every day." Vulg., "Still is he not angry with the wicked?" Syriac, "God is the judge of righteousness. He is not angry every day." It has been proposed to read veal--"and not"--instead of veel--"and God"--conformably to these versions, but unnecessarily.

Verse 11. - God judgeth the righteous; rather, God is a righteous Judge. So Rosenmuller, Bishop Horsley, Dr. Kay, the 'Speaker's Commentary,' and the Revised Version. And God is angry with the wicked every day. There is no need of inserting the words, "with the wicked," since, of course, it is with the wicked that God is angry. What the psalmist means to assert especially is that God's anger continues against the wicked as long as their wickedness continues.
