Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 17:2

"Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; Let thine eyes look upon equity." — Psalms 17:2 (ASV)

Let my sentence — i.e., let my cause be tried before Your tribunal, where it is sure of success, since I am innocent and You are just. The second clause is better in the present, Thine eyes behold, etc.

The things that are equal. —Hebrew, meysharîm, which may be either abstract, rectitude, or concrete, the just (Song of Solomon 1:4, Note), or adverbial, justly.
