SCRIPTURE

"Jehovah therefore be judge, and give sentence between me and thee, and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thy hand." — 1 Samuel 24:15 (ASV)

The Lord therefore be Judge, and judge between me and you , &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 your hand : which was a prayer of faith, believing he would do it in due time, see (Psalms 7:6Psalms 7:8–11) .
