Psalms 7:3

O Lord, if I have done this Which Cush and others falsely lay to my charge; if there be iniquity in my hands In my actions, the hand being often put for actions whereof it is a great instrument: “David here makes a solemn appeal to God, the searcher of hearts, as judge of his innocence, with regard to the particular crime laid to his charge. Any person, when slandered, may do the same. But Christ only could call upon Heaven to attest his universal uprightness.” Horne.
