Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 7:4

4. If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me : (yea , I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy.)

(i. e.) To Saul, when he was peaceable and friendly towards me: For David was charged with evil Designs against Saul, before Saul broke out into open Enmity against him.

This Particle is here used by way of correction or opposition, as it is also Psal. 2. 6. Prov. 6. 16. So far have I been from doing this, that I have done the contrary.

When it was in my power to destroy him, as 1. Sam. 24. and 26.

Without any Provocation on my part.
