The Lord therefore be Judge, and judge between me and thee,
&c.] Signifying he did not desire to be judge in his own cause, but leave it with God to determine it for him in his providence: and see, and plead my cause;
look with pity upon him, take his cause in his hand, plead it, and do him justice: and deliver me out of thine hand:
which was a prayer of faith, believing he would do it in due time, see ( Psalms 7:6 Psalms 7:8-11 ) .
