Psalms 7:1-7

Supplication of a Believer against Slander.

The Petition.

Shiggaion of David, a plaintive song, or elegy, full of emotion, which is apparent it both in the structure and in the accompanying music, which he sang unto the Lord concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite, one of his detractors at the court of Saul. David prays for the establishment of his innocence, because he knows himself to be guiltless and because Jehovah will be glorified in his vindication.
