Psalm 7 KJV
King James Version, Holy Bible
O Lord my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O Lord my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
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:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
6 Arise, O Lord, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.

Psalm Chapter 7 Devotional

And in this scripture, we can see the perspective and the position that a righteous should have in the face of persecution. Because persecution, the Bible says, shall be the allotment of those who live godly. It's not something that you can avoid.
But here we see, the Psalmist positioned himself under the mighty hand of God so that God can deliver him in the midst of persecution.
Is there somebody in your life that is treating you badly? Don't deliver for , instead, give good to them? Because the Lord is the one who will vindicate you from the of the .
God is Your Refuge
The Bible says that vengeance is the Lord's.
The Psalmist did good to the people who were rewarding him for the good that he did. And we also see that he asked the Lord to arise and deliver him.
How many times have you asked God to arise and deliver you? One of the things that we can be assured of is that we have a deliverer. We have a defender in the Lord, who is our defense. :10 says that my defense is of God who saves the upright in . Another Psalm says that no good with the Lord withold from him who walks uprightly.
And so we see that God is a who most assuredly will deliver us.
People try to discredit us, and they try to malign us, but what we are to do is continue doing good; pray for those who persecute us, and trust God to be or judge and to make the judgments in our favor for we have put our trust in Him.
