Psalms 7:1 (KJV)
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me:

The reference to Cush the Benjamite is intriguing because, though it is not in the inspired and preserved text of Scripture, the reference is accepted by the scholarly authorities as legitimate. And yet no passage of Scripture speaks of him.

Being a Benjamite, Cush must have been an aggressive supporter of King Saul. He, like so many others, took up Saul’s offense against David without cause. David’s only crime was that of being anointed by God. But Saul was jealous and others took up his cause.

How often people become offended only because another is! God had anointed David. Of that he was sure. He therefore could trust God to deliver him from his enemies and those who stood with them.
