SCRIPTURE

"O Jehovah my God, if I have done this; If there be iniquity in my hands;" — Psalms 7:3 (ASV)

Thisi.e., this with which I am charged —the Benjamite’s slander.

If there be iniquity. —A comparison with 1 Samuel 24:12–13, and still more 1 Samuel 26:18, shows how closely this psalm is connected with the two notorious instances of David’s magnanimous and generous conduct towards Saul.
