In Psalm 7, David declares his refuge in the LORD amidst the challenges he faces as the anointed king of Israel. Rather than relying on earthly armies and military strength, David puts his trust in God. He recognizes God as his fortress and the one who will deliver him from the various difficulties he encounters. David vividly portrays the seriousness of the situation, fearing that if God does not shelter him, he will be torn apart by his enemies. However, David asserts his innocence and appeals to God's righteous judgment. He acknowledges that God is the ultimate arbiter of guilt and confidently places his fate in God's hands. David acknowledges God as his shield and praises Him for His righteousness. The psalm contrasts the justice God brings with the wickedness of those who accuse David. Ultimately, David gives thanks and sings praises to the LORD.  As Christians, we know Jesus as the ultimate source of defense and righteousness for us today. In Christ, we find refuge and assurance, knowing that He defends us and provides us with His perfect righteousness.
