Rest in the steady assurance of Psalm 7, read from the King James Version and accompanied by the gentle sound of ocean waves.

Psalm 7 is a prayer for refuge, justice, and deliverance. David brings his cause before the Lord, trusting God to see rightly, judge faithfully, and defend those who walk in integrity. Though the Psalm speaks honestly of trouble, accusation, and danger, it also turns our hearts toward the Lord as protector, righteous judge, and shield.

In this episode of Psalms and Tides, the quiet rhythm of the sea creates a peaceful setting for Scripture, prayer, reflection, and rest. As you listen, may Psalm 7 help you release fear, entrust your burdens to God, and remember that He sees what is hidden, knows what is true, and is able to defend His people.

Whether you are seeking peace in the face of conflict, comfort during uncertainty, or a quiet moment of trust before sleep, may this gentle reading help you rest in the care and justice of the Lord.
