Commentary on Psalms 7:12
God's judgment is presented as conditional: 'If he turn not' provides opportunity for repentance, but persistence in evil brings swift judgment. The imagery of sharpening a sword and bending a bow depicts active preparation for destruction. This teaches that God's patience has limits - judgment delayed is not judgment denied. The weapons metaphor shows judgment is purposeful and prepared, not impulsive. This verse should drive the wicked to repentance while assuring the righteous that justice will come.
