The Belt of Truth: Psalm 7:1-7
Jan 23, 2023 • Rev. Andrew Belt
Psalm 7 is a complaint made to God to show forth his justice and to make a distinction between the righteous and the wicked.
the image given is of a Hunter and Hunted. With words that make all of us blush, we pray to God to vindicate us according to our righteousness and if we have sinned at all to cause us to die.
These words and prayers are of course the words of Jesus Christ who gives us these words to pray because he has made us righteous and not because we are. The image of Jesus on the cross is what we should take in mind as we read this Psalm. It is there that God makes a final judgment and saves us who take refuge in him.
