Contextual Overview

10 (7-11) Is my help from the Lord; who saveth the upright of heart. 11 (7-12) God is a just judge, strong and patient: is he angry every day? 12 (7-13) Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 13 (7-14) And in it he hath prepared to instruments of death, he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn. 14 (7-15) Behold he hath been in labour with injustice: he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity. 15 (7-16) He hath opened a pit and dug it: and he is fallen into the hole he made. 16 (7-17) His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown. 17 (7-18) I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

My defence [is] of God,.... Or "my shield [is] in" or "of God" e; God was his shield, his protector and defender; see Psalms 3:3; or "my shield [is] with God"; that is, Christ, who was the shield his faith made use of against every spiritual enemy, was with God; he was with him as the Word and Son of God from all eternity, and as the living Redeemer of his people before his incarnation; and he is now with him as their intercessor and advocate, who pleads in defence of them, and opposes himself, his blood and righteousness, to all the charges and accusations of Satan;

which saveth the upright in heart: who have the truth of grace in them, wisdom in the hidden part; who are sincere in their affections, purposes, and designs, in their faith, hope, and love; and act from real principles of truth and love, in the integrity of their souls; for these light and gladness are sown, to them grace and glory are given, and no good thing is withheld from them; they are saved by God from sin, Satan, the world, death, and hell, and every enemy, with a spiritual and everlasting salvation.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My defense is of God - The meaning here is, that God was his protector, and that in his troubles he confided in him. The original word here, as in Psalms 3:3, note; Psalms 5:12, note; is “shield.” See the notes at thoses verses.

Which saveth the upright in heart - whom he that searches the heart Psalms 7:9 sees to be upright; or to be sincere, truthful, just. The writer says that it is a characteristic of God that he saves or protects all such; and, conscious of his innocence of the charges against himself, he here appeals to him on that ground, and confides in his protection because he sees that in this respect he was blameless.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 7:10. My defence is of God — I now leave my cause in the hands of my Judge. I have no uneasy or fearful apprehensions, because I know God will save the upright in heart.
