Salmos 7:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 7:3

O Lord my God, if I have done this.
] The crime which Saul and his courtiers charged him with, and which was made so public that every body knew it; and therefore it was needless particularly to mention it; namely, that he lay in wait for Saul, and sought his life to take it away, ( 1 Samuel 24:9 ) . The Targum interprets it of this psalm, paraphrasing it, "if I have made this song with an evil intention"; to give an ill character of any, and lead them with false charges;

if there be iniquity in my hands;
not that he was without sin, he had it in his heart; nor that he lived without the actual commission of sin: but his sense is, that there was no iniquity, as not in his heart, purpose, and design, so not in his hand, nor attempted by him, of the kind he was accused of, ( 1 Samuel 24:11 ) . Otherwise, we often hear him complaining of the depravity of his nature, and acknowledging his sins and transgressions, ( Psalms 32:5 ) ( Psalms 38:3 Psalms 38:4 ) ( 51:1-5 ) .

Salmos 7:3 In-Context

1 Salmo 7
Salmo de David, quien lo cantó al Señor
acerca de Cus, de la tribu de Benjamín.
A ti acudo en busca de protección, oh Señor
mi Dios.
¡Sálvame de los que me persiguen! ¡Rescátame!

2 Si no lo haces, me atacarán como leones,
me despedazarán y no habrá quien que me rescate.

3 Oh Señor
, Dios mío, si he hecho mal
o soy culpable de injusticia,

4 si he traicionado a un amigo
o he saqueado a mi adversario sin razón,

5 entonces que mis enemigos me capturen.
Deja que me pisoteen
y arrastren mi honor por el suelo.
