Salmos 35:23 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 35:23

Stir up thyself and awake
Who seemed to be asleep in the apprehensions of the psalmist, and to take no notice of his distresses, and the insults of his enemies; see ( Psalms 44:23 ) ; he adds,

to my judgment, [even] to my cause;
that is, to plead it and maintain it, and avenge him of his enemies, as in ( Psalms 35:1 ) ; making use of his covenant interest in him as a plea for it to engage him to do it, saying,

my God, and my Lord;
see ( Psalms 22:1 ) .

23 Acorda! Desperta! Faze-me justiça!Defende a minha causa, meu Deus e Senhor.
24 SENHOR, meu Deus, tu és justo; faze-me justiça para que elesnão se alegrem à minha custa.
25 Não deixes que pensem: “Ah! Era isso que queríamos!”nem que digam: “Acabamos com ele!”
