Commentary on Psalms 7:11

Theological / Devotional

God judgeth the righteous. This sentence may also be translated “God is a righteous judge.” Verses 11–16 vividly portray God’s dealing with the wicked.

Every day. As if wishing to correct the false impression that God had been indifferent to his plight and that he had called on God to vindicate him after God had failed to do so. The psalmist now plainly states that God’s displeasure with the wicked is constant. He sees God’s uniform justice at all times, despite temporary appearances to the contrary. The Christian should be careful not to allow a lone instance of apparent injustice to create a generalization that questions God’s consistent purposes.
