References for Psa 7:4 —  1   2 

Psalm Ps. 7. The title of this individual lament from David refers to an otherwise unknown incident in his life when a man of Benjamin (the tribe of Saul) slandered David. The psalm enables those who have been unfairly criticized (vv. 3–5) and persecuted to call on God for help.

Ps. 7:1–2 Amid desperate circumstances, David express trust (my God, refuge).

Ps. 7:6–11 The singers see their requests as part of the larger picture: God is a righteous judge (v. 11), to whom all the peoples of mankind are accountable (vv. 7, 8). In the Psalms, God is often described as “judging” on behalf of the innocent and oppressed.

Ps. 7:17 The Lord’s righteousness and his status as the Most High (see vv. 6–11) lead to thanksgiving and praise.
