This lesson explores two psalms that reveal God’s justice and His grace. In Psalm 7, David cries out to God after enduring slander and unjust attacks. Instead of retaliating, he opens himself to God’s inspection, asking the Lord to judge his heart and use the hurtful words for personal growth. The psalm reminds us that even when vindication never comes, God uses trials to deepen our relationship with Him. In Psalm 8, David marvels at God’s majesty in creation, overwhelmed that the Creator of the universe cares for humanity. He affirms that mankind was made a little lower than God, crowned with glory and honor, and given dominion over the earth. Though sin has marred that design, the promise of co-reigning with Christ in His coming kingdom points to our future hope. Together, these psalms teach that God is both just in dealing with injustice and gracious in elevating the weak, calling us to trust His evaluation of our worth and our role in His eternal plan.
