Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 35:23 In-Context

21 Apron larga la bocca contro me e dicono: Ah, ah! l’occhio nostro l’ha visto.

22 Anche tu hai visto, o Eterno; non tacere! O Signore, non allontanarti da me.

23 Risvegliati, destati, per farmi ragione, o mio Dio, mio Signore, per difender la mia causa.

24 Giudicami secondo la tua giustizia o Eterno, Iddio mio, e fa’ ch’essi non si rallegrino su me;

25 che non dicano in cuor loro: Ah, ecco il nostro desiderio! che non dicano: L’abbiamo inghiottito.
