Psalms 7:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 7:16
The psalm concludes with the certainty of divine retribution. 'His mischief shall return upon his own head' emphasizes personal responsibility and appropriate judgment. The Hebrew 'rosh' (head) and 'qodqod' (pate/crown) stress that judgment comes on the person themselves, not innocent bystanders. This is poetic justice - the violent receive violence, the deceitful are deceived. Romans 2:9 affirms this principle. Ultimately, Christ bore this retribution for His people, experiencing the 'return' of our sins upon His head.
