Psalms 7:11

"My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes that one's protection and salvation come from God, particularly for those whose hearts are upright and sincere. It reflects a trust in God as the ultimate defender of the righteous.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

God judgeth the righteous -That is, he pronounces a just judgment on their behalf; he vindicates their character. It is true, in a general sense, that God judges all according to their character; but the particular idea here is, that God will do justice to the righteous; he will interpose to vindicate them, and he will treat them as they ought to be treated when assailed by their enemies, and when reproached and calumniated. The original phrase here is susceptible of two translations; either, “God is a righteous judge” or, “God is judging,” that is judges, “the righteous.” The sense is not materially varied, whichever translation is adopted.
