An Appeal from a Clear Conscience
Commentators agree that when the psalmist says, "I have done justice," he isn't boasting of sinless perfection. Rather, he is approaching God with the "testimony of a good conscience" (Calvin). This integrity gives him confidence to ask God for protection from unjust oppressors, knowing that God promises to defend the righteous. Your own pursuit of justice can fuel your confidence in prayer when you are wronged.
