Psalm 7:11

11 Iddio è giusto giudice, E un Dio che si adira ogni giorno.

Psalm 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 7:11

God judgeth the righteous
Not all that are thought to be righteous, or think themselves to be so, are such; nor is any man naturally righteous, or of himself, nor by virtue of his obedience to the law of works; but such only are righteous who are made so by the obedience of Christ; these God governs and protects, avenges their injuries and defends their persons; some render the words, "God is a righteous Judge" ^F6; he is so now in the administrations of his government of the universe, and he will be so hereafter in the general judgment of the world;

and God is angry [with the wicked] every day;
wicked men are daily sinning, and God is always the same in his nature, and has the same aversion to sin continually; and though he is not always making men examples of his wrath, yet his wrath is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness of men; and there are frequent stances of it; and when he is silent he is still angry, and in his own time will stir up all his wrath, and rebuke in his hot displeasure.

Psalm 7:11 In-Context

9 Deh! venga meno la malvagità de’ malvagi, E stabilisci l’uomo giusto; Conciossiachè tu sii l’Iddio giusto, che provi i cuori e le reni.

10 Il mio scudo è in Dio, Che salva quelli che son diritti di cuore.

11 Iddio è giusto giudice, E un Dio che si adira ogni giorno.

12 Se il mio nemico non si converte, egli aguzzerà la sua spada; Già ha teso l’arco suo, e l’ha preparato.

13 Egli ha apparecchiate arme mortali; Egli adopererà le sue saette contro agli ardenti persecutori.
