He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.
David protested his innocence before God because his conscience did not accuse him of the wickedness laid to his charge. He committed his case to the Divine protection, reflecting on God's goodness and righteousness, assured that the vain attempts of his enemies would turn to their own destruction.
AI summary
Commenting on Psalm 7:1-17
The wicked man stoops to dig in the dirt himself, willing to soil his hands to entrap the godly, too cowardly to face them openly. But mark the end: he tumbles into his own pit, the hunted becomes the beast, the biter bites himself. His evil returns to his own bosom; he lit the torch to burn his neighbor and set his own house ablaze.
AI summary
My defense rests nowhere but in God alone. Two pillars hold me up: first, God saves the upright in heart with an everlasting salvation and will preserve them to His heavenly kingdom; second, God is a righteous Judge who owns every righteous cause and will punish all unrighteousness. On these, the innocent man stands unshaken.
