Psalms 7:10

 Psalms 7:10 says, My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.  David said that his defence was in God and not in himself.   As stated before, David may have been viewed as a powerful man by the world, but he knew his strength came from God, who saves the upright of heart.  These were the people who tried be live true to their covenant relationship to God, just as we today must live true to our relationship with Jesus Christ if we are to be upright of heart.  Verse eleven adds, God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day.  David said that God judges the righteous.  Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we are still to live by the guidance of God, and if we stray away from Him, He will let us know.  At the same time, those who are wicked will face the judgment of God.  Verse twelve states, If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.  David said that those who would not turn to God in faith would face His destruction.  This has always been and always will be true.  Verse thirteen adds, He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.  God has already secured the victory over those who oppose Him.  Verse fourteen says, Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.  David said that those who live in iniquity already have God's arrows aligned against them.  They had brought forth falsehoods against God.  Those who deny God are already defeated.  Verse fifteen adds, He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.  David then said that the enemies of God would fall into their own trap.  Denying the truth of God is a trap unto itself.  Verse sixteen continues, His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.  This continues with the reality that those who devise plans against God will die in the trap of disbelief.  Verse seventeen declares,  I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.  David said he would praise God for His righteousness, and so should we.
