Episode Synopsis

In a world marred by corruption, suffering, and unanswered cries for fairness, it's easy to ask: Where is the justice? Psalm 7 takes us straight into the heart of that question. This week's teaching explores how God responds—not as a passive observer, but as a righteous judge who sees, cares, and acts. Discover how this powerful psalm offers both warning and hope, speaking directly into today's brokenness with the promise of divine justice and grace for all who seek Him. --------------------------- Psalm 7 1 O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;     save me from all my pursuers and deliver me, 2 lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,     rending it in pieces, with none to deliver. 3 O Lord my God, if I have done this,     if there is wrong in my hands, 4 if I have repaid my friend with evil     or plundered my enemy without cause, 5 let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,     and let him trample my life to the ground     and lay my glory in the dust. Selah 6 Arise, O Lord, in your anger;     lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies;     awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. 7 Let the assembly of the peoples be gathered about you;     over it return on high. 8 The Lord judges the peoples;     judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness     and according to the integrity that is in me. 9 Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,     and may you establish the righteous— you who test the minds and hearts,     O righteous God! 10 My shield is with God,     who saves the upright in heart. 11 God is a righteous judge,     and a God who feels indignation every day. 12 If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;     he has bent and readied his bow; 13 he has prepared for him his deadly weapons,     making his arrows fiery shafts. 14 Behold, the wicked man conceives evil     and is pregnant with mischief     and gives birth to lies. 15 He makes a pit, digging it out,     and falls into the hole that he has made. 16 His mischief returns upon his own head,     and on his own skull his violence descends. 17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,     and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.
