Commentary
Commentary on Psalms 7:6
Theological / DevotionalArise. The Lord is called upon to show Himself as judge, ready to punish those who persecute the psalmist (see Ps. 3:7). He is asked to sit publicly as a judge.
Enemies. The idea of a single enemy is extended to include those associated with him, or perhaps all David’s foes.
The judgment. David calls on God to execute upon these particular enemies the punishment that His eternal law requires shall be executed upon all who transgress that law. Speaking, as it were, man to man, David asks God to vindicate the principles of His moral government (see Gen. 18:25). How prone is man to attempt to hasten the Almighty in carrying out His plans. Compare the experience of Habakkuk (chs. 1:1 to 2:4).
