Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.

1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:
2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.
3 O LORD my God, if I have done this; if there be iniquity in my hands;
4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage of mine enemies: and awake for me to the judgment that thou hast commanded.
7 So shall the congregation of the people compass thee about: for their sakes therefore return thou on high.
8 The LORD shall judge the people: judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and according to mine integrity that is in me.
9 Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.
10 My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.
11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. God is angry – Righteous indignation against sin. R5603:1

Anger in itself is not sin. R5417:5

Inability to be angry under proper cause would imply imperfection. R3928:2

It would be improper for our Creator to refrain from righteous indignation where there is a just cause; just as it would be improper for him to be angry without a cause. R787:4

God is not so overbalanced in love that he cannot permit justice thoroughly to scourge the race of condemned sinners. R880:6

He tells us to be like him in our loves and hates--to hate sin and love righteousness. R1251:1

The force of character which permits of anger is the very same force which, otherwise directed, signifies intensity of love. R3928:2

If we feel that anger is proper for us we should use a great deal of discretion. "Be ye angry and sin not." (Eph. 4:26) R5417:5

If any walk after the flesh and not after the spirit such will proportionately lose the love of God. R3034:1


12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.
14 Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15 He made a pit, and digged it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made. Fallen into the ditch – Those who dig pits for others are likely to fall therein themselves. R2503:4

Which he made – As illustrated by Haman and by those who caused Daniel to be cast into the lion's den. R2503:1 [There are 2 references. 1) is to Haman and Mordecai and 2) is to Daniel and his accusers. - site Editor]


16 His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.
17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
