It emphasizes the supreme authority and sovereignty of God over all creation. In the context of this verse, it underscores the divine nature of God as the ultimate arbiter of justice, whose judgments are perfect and beyond human reproach.<p><b>is a righteous judge</b><br />The term "righteous" comes from the Hebrew word "tsaddiq," which means just, lawful, and morally right. This highlights God's inherent nature to act in accordance with what is right and just. As a "judge," or "shaphat" in Hebrew, God is portrayed as one who not only discerns right from wrong but also administers justice. This phrase reassures believers that God's judgments are fair and that He upholds the moral order of the universe.<p><b>and a God who feels indignation</b><br />The phrase "feels indignation" is derived from the Hebrew word "za'am," which conveys a sense of anger or wrath. This is not a capricious or uncontrolled anger but a righteous indignation against sin and injustice. It reflects God's holy response to evil and His commitment to uphold righteousness. This aspect of God's character serves as a warning to the wicked and a comfort to the oppressed, affirming that God is actively engaged in addressing the wrongs of the world.<p><b>each day</b><br />The phrase "each day" emphasizes the continual and consistent nature of God's righteous indignation. It suggests that God's awareness and response to sin are not sporadic but are part of His ongoing engagement with the world. This constancy assures believers that God is ever-vigilant and that His justice is not delayed or forgotten. It serves as a reminder of the immediacy of God's presence and His active role in the moral governance of the world.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/7.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11) <span class= "bld">God judgeth.</span>--The two clauses answer to each other; so the margin, "God is a righteous judge, and God avengeth every day."

And God is angry with the wicked every day. There is no need of inserting the words, "with the wicked," since, <span class="accented">of</span> course, it is with the wicked that God is angry. What the psalmist means to assert especially is that God's anger continues against the wicked as long as their wickedness continues. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/psalms/7-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">God</span><br /><span class="heb">אֱ֭לֹהִים</span> <span class="translit">(’ĕ·lō·hîm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_430.htm">Strong's 430: </a> </span><span class="str2">gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative</span><br /><br /><span class="word">is a righteous</span><br /><span class="heb">צַדִּ֑יק</span> <span class="translit">(ṣad·dîq)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6662.htm">Strong's 6662: </a> </span><span class="str2">Just, righteous</span><br /><br /><span class="word">judge</span><br /><span class="heb">שׁוֹפֵ֣ט</span> <span class="translit">(šō·w·p̄êṭ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_8199.htm">Strong's 8199: </a> </span><span class="str2">To judge, pronounce sentence, to vindicate, punish, to govern, to litigate</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and a God</span><br /><span class="heb">וְ֝אֵ֗ל</span> <span class="translit">(wə·’êl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_410.htm">Strong's 410: </a> </span><span class="str2">Strength -- as adjective, mighty, the Almighty</span><br /><br /><span class="word">who feels indignation</span><br /><span class="heb">זֹעֵ֥ם</span> <span class="translit">(zō·‘êm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Participle - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2194.htm">Strong's 2194: </a> </span><span class="str2">To foam at the mouth, to be enraged</span><br /><br /><span class="word">each</span><br /><span class="heb">בְּכָל־</span> <span class="translit">(bə·ḵāl)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3605.htm">Strong's 3605: </a> </span><span class="str2">The whole, all, any, every</span><br /><br /><span class="word">day.</span><br /><span class="heb">יֽוֹם׃</span> <span class="translit">(yō·wm)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> </span><span class="str2">A day</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/psalms/7-11.htm">Psalm 7:11 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/psalms/7-11.htm">OT Poetry: Psalm 7:11 God is a righteous judge yes (Psalm Ps Psa.) </a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/psalms/7-10.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Psalm 7:10"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Psalm 7:10" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/psalms/7-12.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Psalm 7:12"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Psalm 7:12" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
