August 7, 2025, Psalm 7:1-17
7 O Lord my God, in you do I take
refuge;
save me
from all my pursuers and deliver me,
2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,
rending
it in pieces, with none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done
this,
if there
is wrong in my hands,
4 if I have repaid my friend with evil
or plundered
my enemy without cause,
5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
and let
him trample my life to the ground
and lay
my glory in the dust. Selah
6 Arise,
O Lord, in your anger;
lift
yourself up against the fury of my enemies;
awake
for me; you have appointed a judgment.
7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;
over it
return on high.
8 The Lord judges the peoples;
judge
me, O Lord, according to my
righteousness
and
according to the integrity that is in me.
9 Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
and may
you establish the righteous—
you who test the minds and hearts,
O
righteous God!
10 My shield is with God,
who
saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge,
and a
God who feels indignation every day.
12 If a man does
not repent, God will whet his sword;
he
has bent and readied his bow;
13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,
making
his arrows fiery shafts.
14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil
and
is pregnant with mischief
and
gives birth to lies.
15 He makes a pit, digging it out,
and
falls into the hole that he has made.
16 His mischief returns upon his own head,
and on
his own skull his violence descends.
17 I will
give to the Lord the
thanks due to his righteousness,
and I
will sing praise to the name of the Lord,
the Most High.
These verses share how God is worthy of worship and praise as
He is the Lord, The Most High. As we choose to trust God, we seek for
cleanliness of our hands, heart and minds. We serve a just God for both
the wicked and those choosing Him.
How has the very nature of God’s character shaped your
worship?
Do you fully trust God to fairly deal with the wicked and
believers?
When tested, where is your heart and mind focused?
