Psalm 7

Psalms 7 was possibly written while Shimei was cursing David in 2 Samuel 16: 6-8. It is an example of how we should react and respond when we feel that we have been wronged. Ask God, “search me and show me if I have done any wrong.”

If we have then let us accept what has been dealt to us as David in verses 3-5. If we have not done anything wrong, then let God be the judge and let His will be done (verses 8-16).

This is a poignant reminder not to attempt to take matters into our own hands but turn them over to God and let Him handle the situation.

“Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.”
Romans 12:19
