Psalms 7 - God's Justice

Justice is the central theme in Psalms 7

The first two verses (1-2) talk about God being your protector from those who pursue you unjustly.

In verses 3-5, it is stated that if I have done harm to anyone else, let the punishment be swift, and to let my enemies catch me and put an end to my wicked deeds.

The rest of the Psalms, verses 6-17, talk about standing up to my enemies with God as the ultimate judge over all.  God is the judge of all mankind, presiding over all of our thoughts and desires.  God protects those who obey and worship Him, setting traps for my enemies where they are punished by their own evil.

In the end, God is thanked for His justice, and praises are sung to Him.
