Psalms 7:2 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Lest he That is, mine enemy, as it is expressed, Psalms 7:4. The singular number here used, evidently proves that one particular enemy is referred to, whom some suppose to be the great enemy and accuser, whose agents and tools wicked men are. But it is much more probable that either Saul or one of his followers is intended; tear my soul Out of my body: or destroy me and my life, for soul sometimes signifies the life, of which it is the principle, and sometimes the person himself; either of which senses agrees to this place. Like a lion To which he compares his enemy, both for power and cruelty. While there is none to deliver While I have no power to defend myself, but am forced to flee to mountains, and caves, and woods, for my safety.
