Psalms 7:1-17
7:2 | With no shepherd near to protect or rescue, a lion can pounce on a defenseless lamb, tear it into pieces, break all of its bones, and devour it completely. David uses this graphic image to portray a person who feels the destructive powers of the enemy.
7:9 | Hearts and minds would literally be translated “hearts and kidneys,” which is a word picture to describe all of the immaterial feelings that reside within mankind. God knows all of our emotions, desires, thoughts, and motivations (1 Sam. 16:7).
7:17 | The Lord Most High is a title seldom found outside the Psalms. It is first encountered in the story of Melchizedek and Abram (Gen. 14:18-22). David uses this title to announce God’s power and rule over all nations.
