Our Righteous God - Psalm 7

Psalm 7:17

“I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness, And will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.”

In this chapter of Psalm, David begins by acknowledging the Lord as his God, whom he puts his trust in.  In the midst of unfair treatment, David begs God to deliver him and be his defender.  What I noticed to be interesting is, David ends the chapter with verse 17 where He praises God for His righteousness even though he is still in the middle of his trial.  David doesn’t wait for God to answer his prayer before He gives God the praise He deserves.  He leaves his concerns with God.

In my own life, I often praise God after He answers my prayers according to how I wanted them answered.  I am reminded by this Psalm to praise God and acknowledge His righteousness; that He is my God, my Defender, even as I wait on Him.
