Shall They Escape by Iniquity? - Psalms 56:7

In Psalms chapter fifty six David said, “In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me. Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil. They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul”, and in chapter fifty-six and verse seven of Psalms David asked, “Shall they escape by iniquity?”, where we read,

Shall they escape by iniquity? in your anger cast down the people, O God.

The verse begins, “Shall they escape by iniquity?” David began with the words, “Shall they escape” or “will they, David's enemies, be delivered, get away with and be liberated” “by iniquity” which means “through the means of trouble, wickedness, sorrow and idolatry”? David questioned whether his hating adversaries would be delivered through wickedness and idolatry.

The verse goes on to say, “in your anger cast down the people, O God.” David continued with the words, “in your anger” or “within your, the Divine judge Jehovah God's, wrinkled nostrils, nose and face demonstrating wrath and ire” “cast down the people” which means “make descend, march and sink down the human beings both male and female who were David's enemies”, “O God” or “O Divine judge, ruler and Supreme God”. David appealed to the Divine judge Jehovah God to sink his enemies to a lower place.

When we meditate upon the words in this verse, we see how David wondered if his enemies thought they would get away with their pernicious deeds, and the answer is no! David appealed to God to bring them down, and He knew the omnipotent Jehovah God would easily be able to do so. God wants to have a personal, intimate relationship with every person, and He made this possible by sending His Son Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind. Anyone who believes and trusts in Him will be forgiven of their sins, granted everlasting life and given His Holy Spirit to help them overcome all hating adversaries. Let us give praise, honor and glory to Jehovah God and His Son Jesus for their provision for us even when “wrath” is needed to overcome our foes.

Next time David asks, “you tell my wanderings”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
