Commentary on Psalms 7:3
David protests his innocence with an oath-like formula. 'If I have done this' introduces a self-imprecation - if guilty, may punishment come. 'Iniquity in my hands' means unjust actions or wrongdoing. This isn't claiming sinless perfection but specific innocence regarding accusations. David appeals to God as righteous judge who knows hearts. This models appropriate self-defense while submitting to divine judgment. Christ perfectly fulfilled this - absolutely innocent yet condemned, He appealed to the Father's vindication through resurrection.
