Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 7:4

_ _ If I have injured my friend.

_ _ yea, I have delivered, etc. — This makes a good sense, but interrupts the course of thought, and hence it is proposed to render, “if I have spoiled my enemy” — in either case (compare 1 Samuel 24:4-17; 1 Samuel 31:8, 1 Samuel 31:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 7:1-9.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 7:4

Deliver — When it was in my power to destroy him, as 1 Samuel 24:2-6.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 7:4

(c) If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

(c) If I did not reverence Saul for affinities sake, and preserved his life, (1 Samuel 26:8-9).
