What does Psalms 7:1-2 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

On the basis of God"s protection of those who trust in Him, David asked for protection from those who were pursuing him, perhaps Saul"s men (cf. 1 Samuel 22:8; 1 Samuel 24:9; 1 Samuel 26:19). He felt like a helpless lamb that a powerful, ferocious lion was about to tear apart (cf. Psalm 10:9; Psalm 17:12; Psalm 22:13; Psalm 22:21; Psalm 35:17; Psalm 57:4; Psalm 58:6). He believed no one but God could rescue him. The idea of God rescuing His own is a common one in the psalms.
