And Peter says good morning to everyone on the Utah SDR. Good morning to you, Peter. Good to have you with us.

All right, any other check-ins, please come down. WB7VZL. And good morning, Roger, WB7VZL.

Good to hear your voice. How are you doing? Well, I just woke up, the Lord told me.

Well, not specifically, but I woke up barely in time. So, yeah, Psalm 7. Yep, you are here today and you got Psalm 7.

If you could read that Psalm for us when the time comes, I would appreciate that. And Roger, we got you checked in. Any prayer requests?

Over. We're going up, preparing tomorrow to go up north for the first time to find out the conditions of the old homestead area. So we'll, anyway, prayers for that, putting that together.

Over. Copy that. Yeah, Roger's going to be traveling north to his family's cabin there, a real remote location.

Relying me of the town that that's nearest to, Roger, go ahead. It's 20 miles northeast of Colville, Washington, Tarn. Well, not too far from Canada, in the Colville National Forest, actually.

Over. I copy that. I remember that now.

I just couldn't pull the name out of my memory bank. So, Coville, Washington. Good.

All right. Well, you have a safe trip up there. Looking forward to hearing your voice from that location.

When you get there, we'll pray for a safe journey. So, Jerry, 870R, let's pray for Roger and his family as they travel north to their cabin in Coville for a safe journey and for them not to forget. Anything at home.

Because once you get up there, there's no place to go to buy something for sure. All right, Roger. Real good.

Thank you for being there. All right. WV70 mix.

Looking for check-ins. All right. - I think I might have heard Carol's voice in there.

Carol, KK7TPO, is that you? Come back with a roger roger. All right, any relays?

- What I heard was a female voice. But I didn't hear Roger, Roger. Okay, so you heard a female voice.

All right, female voice attempting to check in. Please come back to us. Any relays?

I didn't hear anything. Alright, well, I didn't hear anything either. Did it sound like Carol Roger to you?

Well, with my noise, it definitely was a lighter voice like it is, but I can't say. All right, Carol, we're going to check you in by faith. How about that?

She's here every day. I know she's listening. Anyway, Carol, we love you.

We just can't hear you, and we're going to check you in and trust that you're here. You're welcome to send me a text message. Oh, I just got a text message.

Let's see who that is. Oh, no, that's a Gmail. That's not a text message.

Oh, well. Okay. In any event, we're still looking for check-ins to West Coast Bible Study.

Any more stations, please come now. All right. Hearing nothing, we're going to go ahead and get started with the West Coast Bible Study.

Appreciate all the stations who are here and those who are listening. And we are in Psalm 7 today. Before we get to Psalm 7 and read it, I'm going to introduce it.

But before we do that, we want to ask for prayer to start our Bible study with. So, Beck, Alpha Alpha Phi Vienke, thank you for being with us today and agreeing to open in prayer. Please go ahead there, Beck.

Roger, Alpha Alpha Phi Vienke, let us all come to the Lord in prayer. Dear God, thank you so much for all of us being able to wake up to see the light of another day. May we learn to appreciate each and every day more and more, especially as we get older.

And those days, the amount of times that we're going to get to do that could become less and less due to age or some kind of a mishap that could take your life. thank you for saving my life and not letting me die. I appreciate that.

I appreciate the fact that I've got a wonderful group of people out here that were praying for me that haven't seen me, haven't met me, hardly know me, but still love me. And that love is in the Eucharist. I'm so glad that I've got you and everybody else on this net has you.

I pray that we have a wonderful Bible that, as always, there's good questions out there, and as always, there's always a good answer. Let us all have a wonderful day and praise your name. In Jesus Christ's name I pray.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Amen. Beck, thank you so much for that prayer. Wonderful prayer.

May the Lord be pleased to receive that gratitude and answer those requests. All right, the net would also like to acknowledge our intrepid logger, Eric, KD7ES. He finally checked himself in there on the net.

Eric, good to have you with us. Eric, KD7ES, any All right, Eric is probably flipping switches and turning dials. Okay, we've got Eric KD7ES checked in.

Okay, we are in Psalm 7 today, and I'm going to ask Roger to read that in a moment. Before he does, I want to give us a little introduction to it. The heading of this psalm refers to an individual named Cush.

You'll notice the heading says, the song which David sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite. So Cush is clearly a Jew, a member of the nation of Israel, a Benjamite. And apparently his behavior towards David is what provoked David to utter this prayer to God.

Now who this man Cush the Benjamite is... We really don't have any idea. And furthermore, we also have no certainty regarding the particular circumstances that this psalm is referring to.

Nowhere is an individual by this name spoken of during the life of David... as we find it recorded in the scriptures. But, even though we have no Biblical record of the life of Cush in particular, yet the content of this Psalm makes it pretty clear what Cush had done.

He was persecuting David and attempting to destroy him, just like a lion would attempt to destroy his prey. Now, previously, David had saved this man's life, because he refers to that in this psalm. And now, this man has become David's enemy for no legitimate reason.

He's slandering David. He's tried to entrap David. and he wants to violently destroy David.

So it's probable, and I say probable because we don't know for sure, but it's probable that Cush assisted Saul when he was pursuing David to kill him in the time period recorded in 1 Samuel 24 through 26, those chapters. Cush may have stirred up Saul to pursue David, and Cush may have been one who agitated and lobbied for his destruction. Now his words were obviously a source of trouble for David, and by slandering him, he probably stirred up Saul against him, perhaps out of envy or jealousy.

In any event, this man and his words are a serious threat to David, And David cries out to God to deliver him and save him from this man and his evil intentions. And so David offers to God not only a request but also a motive to act on his behalf and deliver him from this evil man. And the motive that David offers to God as to why God should deal with this man and deliver David is that David is innocent of the charges Cush has made against him.

that somehow David had treated him unjustly. David has a vendetta to destroy David because he thought that somehow David had rewarded evil to him when he had been at peace with David. And David says to God, God, nothing can be further from the truth.

You know that. So David pleads the injustice of his enemy's accusation the injustice of his enemy's malice and the injustice of his attacks as the reason why God should oppose and end those attacks. So David says, I've done him nothing but good.

I've delivered him when he was in distress. Lord, look on this injustice he is doing to me. If I were guilty of what he accuses me of, I would deserve these attacks.

But God, you know the truth. You know I'm falsely accused and unjustly attacked. Lord, deliver me from this wicked assault.

So this is the background. This is the general drift of the prayer. And as we go through this, hopefully we will understand why David is saying what he's saying.

and of course draw out the applications for ourselves. All right, that's a little bit of background on Psalm 7. Roger, WB7BZL, please go ahead and read this psalm to us.

WB7BZL reading New American Standard Bible, Psalm 7. Oh Lord, my God. In thee I have taken refuge.

Save me from all those who pursue me and deliver me, lest he tear my soul like a lion, dragging me away while there is none to deliver. O Lord, my God, if I have done this, If there is injustice in my hands, if I have rewarded evil to my friend, or have plundered him without cause with my adversary, let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it, and let him trample my life down to the ground, and lay my glory in the dust. Verse 6: Arise, O God, All right, WV7MAX here, net control for the West Coast Follow-Up Study.

Carol, KK7TPO, we see there on the Utah SDR. And so we got you all checked in. Appreciate you being there.

All right, any comments on this section? Please come down with a call sign. AK6 OK.

Jeff, AK6 OK. Please go ahead. You know, as with David, which he does quite often, I see him pulling out the people he gets attacked by and praying about them individually in individual situations.

and asking God to protect him. He, in a lot of ways, seems to have been a very pursued man. And I don't know if he's just like us, but gets in trouble constantly.

And I think this is just another one of those situations where he says, God, here's another one. Am I getting this right, Max? You are getting it exactly right, Jeff.

Thank you for making that observation. A lot of these prayers are prayers to God by David about his enemies that are after him. Now, he had enemies for several reasons.

Number one, he had enemies because he's the king, right? He's God's anointed king over Israel. And whenever you're in political power, there's always people who want to tear you down and destroy you.

And we see that in our own elections. For example, politicians rip and tear on each other. They lie and slander each other.

And so there's that. And then the second thing about David is that he is a godly man, okay? And of course, those who are ungodly are going to hate him just because he's a godly man.

So we have this political conflict. We secondly have this conflict between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. Those who are serving Satan want to tear us down.

And thirdly, David is a foreshadowing and a picture of Jesus Christ, who is, of course, the son of David. And so just like Jesus was viciously slandered and falsely attacked by the wicked of his day because he was, in fact, the son of God... David is getting these same kind of attacks.

So you recall that when Jesus, for example, is hanging on the cross, he reaches back to Psalm 22. And he quotes that psalm. Well, that's the psalm of David.

That's what David was going through, which foreshadowed and pictured what Jesus is going to go through. So what we see here, Jeff... Because we're living on a battlefield.

And you know on the battlefield, there may be a lull in the battle, but there's never peace. And it just keeps coming and coming and waves and waves. And we have to keep fighting.

And we will be fighting the good fight of faith and spiritual warfare all the days of our life. And so, you know, I've heard people say as they read through these early Psalms, which are all about David's warfare, Man, it just seems like it's just, you know, Constance talking about his enemies. Well, if you haven't got enemies, you're not standing for God.

And so all of us have those who oppose us when we stand for Jesus, when we represent Jesus. And so that's the reason why there's all of this going on, Jeff. He's a politician, he's a Christian, and he's a picture of Jesus Christ, a foreshadowing of Him.

And that's why all this flak was being directed at him, because if David can be killed, we don't have Christ. Because David is not only the seed of the woman, he's not only a descendant of the tribe of Judah, but in the Davidic covenant, specifically, he was said to be a descendant of David himself. So if David doesn't make it, we have no Messiah.

That's what's going on here, Jeff. Back to you. Very interesting.

Now, if you sit and look at our current political situation, same thing is going on right now. Slanderous comments constantly, daily. Lawsuits from here to there.

All of this stuff. And it's gotten obviously worse, it sounds like. But...

You know, in our own prayer life with my sweet wife and I, we've had a couple of occasions, not very many, but a couple where we have asked the Lord to take somebody out. And that's exactly what David is doing here. stop these guys Lord put them to death whatever whatever you've got to do because of the bitter the bitter battle that's going on so you can certainly take this passage and you can and you can bring it to our day and see exactly what's going on it's the same thing and it hasn't stopped yet and it probably never will Amen.

Well said, Jeff. And that's entirely appropriate. When someone has not only rejected the gospel over and over again, they're actively attacking the people of God and they're actively blaspheming God.

It's entirely appropriate to pray that God will remove them from this earth. You know, we want to see everybody get saved. But we also have these imprecatory psalms, and this is not one of them, but it comes close to it, where, you know, the theme of the psalm is praying for God's judgment to fall on folks.

And so, you know, we start out, you know, casting our pearls. of before people, which are the truth of the gospel. But when they not only trample the gospel under their feet, they turn again and start attacking us and become open enemies of God and his people, then, you know, to pray for them to be removed is entirely appropriate.

And, you know, your earlier comment, Jeff, about the lies that our politicians tell us about what happened, about the facts, about each other. Satan is the father of lies. And any time you see lies being told, you see Satan's voice being heard.

Because God cannot lie. So God always speaks the truth. So any time a lie is spoken, that's the voice of Satan.

And we have to understand that behind this, visible, physical, human conflict, stands spiritual forces. And really what we have is this conflict between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan. And you can always tell who's in what kingdom by whether they're telling the truth or whether they're telling whether they're upholding God's standards or whether they're upholding the standards of Satan.

Jeff, great comments of insight. Really appreciate you sharing that. All right, Danette would like to acknowledge Dan in 16I.

Good morning, Dan. Good to have you with us. Appreciate you being there from North Highlands.

All right, any other comments on this passage? Please come down to the call center. KD7, yes.

KD7, yes. Eric, go ahead. Yeah, I just had some observations reading through it, and a couple, maybe a thought or two, but when we're looking at verses 3 through 5, you know, verse 3 starts out and says, Oh, Lord, my God, if I have done this, and the question that kind of came to my head was like, well, what?

has he done or is being accused of doing and then it kind of goes on to say if there is injustice in his if I have rewarded evil to my friends or have slandered him without cause what would I have to carry so it sounds like he's being accused of being disloyal um you know and so that's kind of my first thought um and then in verse five it talks about and let me travel my life down to the ground and lay my glory in the dust and my thought about that is i feel like you know david is 12 times or whatever, 15, and then it talks about the evildoer or the sinner, if he does not repent, and then all those things that God does do to those who are unrepentant heart and soul. And And so those are kind of my thoughts. I mean, basically, you know, when somebody's coming to you or doing something else, it's going to come back on you.

And that's kind of what my thought was. Do you think David's kind of praying that? Well, over.

Eric, great observations. Well said and entirely congruent with what the passage is teaching. You know, David is pleading his innocence.

Now, David is not saying he's sinless. What he's saying is he didn't commit this particular sin that he's being accused of. And so you'll notice in verse 10, he says, My defense is of God, which saves the upright in heart.

And so, you know, you seldom get justice in this world from people. Either they give you too much credit and flatter you, And you're right. In this life, very often times, those who are making the false charges wound up, as it were, being hung on their own gallows.

Thank you for bringing out that illustration of Haman and Mordecai. Perfect. And that's exactly what David is talking about here in verse 15 when he talks about these guys fall into their own pit.

And you know, when you plan destruction of others unjustly and wickedly, God often turns things to cause that person to be destroyed. And so they had planned for others to wind up happening to them. Certainly if not in the short term, in the long term.

They want to cast David down into some pit and kill him. where they're going to be cast into the pit of hell and be under the wrath of God. So, Eric, you handled the passage well, and I appreciate those comments.

All right, any other comments? Please come down. There's Mark, KJ7PVT.

Good morning, Mark. How are you doing? Yeah, go ahead, Mark.

Yeah, copy that. Well, we're glad beck's back as well so uh uh beck alpha alpha 5 yankee mark kj7 tvt is saying so pleased to hear your voice and so glad you're back on the air so praising the lord for that mark kj7 tvt go ahead Thank you. Thank you.

All right, Mark, great comment there. Mark's pointing out the Selah, S-E-L-A-H, that's at the end of verse 5. That's a musical notation, and it means pause or stop.

And so it's an opportunity in the middle of the song to stop and think about what was said, reflect on its meaning, and then consider its application. And as Mark said, this applies not only to David but also to Jesus. And so any time you run across this little word Selah, with these false accusations and this plea for justice that is being expressed here.

Mark, KJ7BVT, thank you for those comments. All right, any other comments on the passage, please come down. All right.

Alright, I'd like to point out verse 17, and we're going to see this in these Psalms as we're going through them, and that is it ends on a note of confidence, it ends on a note of praise, it ends on a note of victory. Notice verse 17, he says, I will praise the Lord according to His righteousness. and will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.

And so after David has spread out his need before the Lord, he's confident that the Lord is going to see his cause, bring justice in his cause, and deliver him from those who are trying to harm him, people that are stronger and greater than he, but not stronger and greater than God. So, you know, when we pray and we spread out our needs before God, we always want to end on that note of praise. You know, you see that in even the Lord's Prayer, Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, right?

And we have all these requests. Thou dost make an end of me. So there is this reference here that I'll throw it into the mix.

Over. Yeah, and I think what that exemplifies is that, you know, Hezekiah was a good and godly king, right? Not perfect, just like David wasn't perfect.

But nevertheless, you know, a godly person who had some sins, but who as a dominating characteristic of his life, believed in God, followed God, and brought glory to God. And so here's one more example of another person who's being drugged through very difficult circumstances and who is under unjust assault from his wicked enemy. And so, once again, when we're in that situation...

in the eyes of so many who not only utter the lies, but others who believe the lies. And when that happens, and when you have done what you can to clear your name and to call the person who is slandering you to repent over what they've said, and, you know, you've gotten nowhere, well, then you just commit your case to God. And that's what David was doing here.

He was saying to God, you know, I've tried to get justice. I can't. God, I'm putting it in your hands.

And so the Bible says we're to cast our burden on the Lord and he will sustain us. He will never suffer the righteous to be moved, that is to be shaken or destroyed. And so we know God says vengeance is mine.

I will repay it, saith the Lord, so we can commit the case in his hands and just wait on him to bring vindication to us. And oftentimes he does that. by exposing to the whole world the evil character of those who have been slandering us.

And in due time, their own corruptions are exposed for all to see. And then folks realize, well, okay, this guy wasn't a reliable witness, and what he said about this person or that person shouldn't be taken as true, even though in the past I did. So that's oftentimes how this dynamic works.

Back to you there, Roger. when he mentions in verse 4 without cause there's a reference to just what you had said in 1 Samuel 24 and I'll read verse 7 and David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them and the old things and the old man has passed away, and we have become a new man, a different person in Christ. So when I pray for the salvation of my enemies, I am praying for who they are to die.

And Saul got killed on the road to Damascus. That old man died, and the new man was brought to life. And now Saul becomes a different person than he ever was before.

So that's my response, Dave. We pray for either their literal death or their spiritual death. They're prayers that evil would be stopped, and they're prayers that righteousness would be established, and that it would grow, and it would be exalted.

So, you know, along with loving our enemies, you know, there's also a recognition of the need for justice. And so we love our enemies by asking God to stop them from their course of sinning, either by conversion or by taking them off this earth. All right, Dave, KE7WKI, that's the best I can do for you.

Anybody else want to comment on that, please come down to the call sign. 5 Yankee? 5 Yankee, go ahead.

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything, but the comment was made exactly what I was thinking. myself, love thy enemy. And I'm sure you all know that that's one of the biggest things in my life that concerns me in our world today is this takeover of our country by Islam.

And I actually end my prayer every night. I'm not only with an amen, but my prayer ends with, please turn all these Islamists from Muslims into Christians. Amen.

Amen, Beck. And that's a great prayer. I pray that too.

I pray for the destruction of Islam, and I pray for the conversion of Muslims. And if these are people who are not going to be converted, then Lord, take them off the face of the earth. And, you know, what we're doing is we're leaving that in the hands of God.

What we're doing is we're praying. evil needs to stop, God. And please stop it either by removing them from this earth or by saving them.

And I think that those are both legitimate prayers. They're biblical prayers and we see them being prayed by Christians people under the inspiration of the Spirit. All right.

We have our Vintage Military Radio Network that is following us today. So we do want to allow time for prayer so that we can be done by 6.50. So are there any final comments or prayer requests?

Please come down. All right, we're hearing nothing. Jerry, 8070R, if you could close for us in prayer today, I'd sure appreciate that.

We ask all of you that we can do this thing in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen, Jerry.
