Outlines in Psalms
The Holy Spirit inspired introduction to Psalm 7 states, “Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.” Throughout the Psalm David refers to this Cush as a persecutor, and thereby as an enemy. Apparently, this Cush was persecuting David through “the words” of false accusation (See verses 3-5). Thus this psalm provides us with counsel concerning our response to the persecution of false accusation.
