Psalm 7 is an individual
lament, 1 and the superscript
situates it as “concerning the words of Cush, the Benjaminite” ( Ps 7:1 HB; על־דברי־כושׁ
בן־ימיני). 2 This situation is
rather difficult to pinpoint precisely in the biblical narratives of
David’s life. 3 The OG reading
Χουσί is reflected in Augustine’s text and leads him to relate Ps 7 to 2 Sam 15:32–37. 4 Yet, this rendering seems as
though it may suggest a different Vorlage than is available in
the MT. 5
