Psalm 7: The Song of the Hunted

The Woven Psalms

“O LORD my God, in you do I take refuge…” (Psalm 7:1)
The Psalms have a balanced perspective on justice. The Bible doesn’t often allow us to see people as entirely innocent or entirely guilty, because even the most innocent victim can do wrong in the way they call for justice and even the most guilty criminal can change their ways and be reformed. There is right and wrong, but the one true standard is the holy Judge who teaches us to see nuances in how we pursue justice and mercy.
The Woven Psalms is a reflective, unhurried, and practical podcast about praying every psalm in the Bible. This podcast is a ministry of Rock Hill Community Church in Duluth, MN. You can learn more about our work at www.wovenpsalms.com.
Mike Solis is our writer and host. Ethan Gibbs is our editor, producer, and composer of the theme music. Beau Walsh designed our logo. This episode features the song “Psalm 7” by Poor Bishop Hooper, and we want to thank them for allowing us to use the music from their EveryPsalm project.
