Commenting on Psalm 7:1-17
David appears before God to plead with him against the Accuser, who had charged him with treason and treachery. The case is here opened with an avowal of confidence in God. Whatever may be the emergency of our condition we shall never find it amiss to retain our reliance upon our God.
The injuries men do us should drive us to God, for to Him we may commit our cause. David sang to the Lord instead of being ruffled by abuse; his spirit remained composed and cheerful, still in tune for sacred songs, with not one jarring string in his harp.
