Psalms 7:6-9 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Is there not in these words, concerning the judgment Jehovah hath commanded, a reference to the very judgment seat of Christ, to which the Lord our Mediator is appointed supreme judge, because he is the Son of man? John 5:27. It is there, finally and fully, the congregating of the people shall be. But whether this be so or not, one thing is certain, none but Jesus can make an appeal to it, from this distinguishing feature of character, which belongs wholly to him, the righteousness and the integrity that is in him. Precious view of the Lamb of God! Thou, and thou only, art holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens.

Psalms 7:6-9

6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.

8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.

9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
