Psalms 7:3-4

[3] O LORD  my God,  if I have done  this; if there be  iniquity  in my hands;  [4] If I have rewarded  evil  unto him that was at peace  with me; (yea, I have delivered  him that without cause  is mine enemy:) 

What does Psalms 7:3-4 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

David couched his claim to be innocent of the offenses for which his enemies were pursuing him in terms of an oath ("If ... if ... then ..."). This was a strong way to declare his freedom from guilt. Evidently his enemies had charged him with injustice, paying a friend back evil for good, and robbery.
