David calls for God to descend upon the earth and rule with justice, vindicating the righteous and destroying the wicked. In the end, the evil deeds of the wicked recoil on himself and praise is directed to God, in what is not an atypical turn from distress to praise in the psalter. The psalm is titled with a mysterious superscription giving clues to its historical context. This commentary explores the historical context of Psalm 7, examines its structure and features, and provides a verse-by-verse commentary.
