Ps 7

Ps. 7 A lament and psalm of refuge by an innocent person beset by enemies. As one falsely accused of murder could find sanctuary in the house of God and appeal his case to God’s judgment, so the psalmist commits his case to God. His protestations of innocence refer to specific charges and are not a claim to be sinless. See Ps. 11; 17; 26; 27; 31; 71.
