Psalm 7
Mixed metaphors / 4 or 5 striking images
The Psalmist’s enemies are like a ferocious lion (v2)
who is pregnant with evil (v14)
and who falls into the pit he has dug (vv15-16)
because the Lord is a righteous judge (vv3-11)
and a powerful warrior (vv12-13)
2 possible objections
to this picture:
(1) Enemies?
John 15:18, 20
1 Peter 5:8
(2) God as judge and
warrior?
Cf. Ps 6:1-2
