Psalm 7:4
“If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)”
KJV
Read in Psalm 7Meaning
The verse narrows the moral claim to concrete conduct and supports accountable self-scrutiny rather than vague self-justification.
Self-examination under a solemn oath
The oath names the conduct for which the speaker is willing to be judged.
Read carefully
The psalm submits concrete conduct to judgment instead of treating emotion as proof.
Reflection
