God as Your Divine Advocate
Commentators explain that "Plead my cause" is a specific legal appeal. The psalmist, feeling wrongfully oppressed and unable to defend himself, asks God to act as his divine lawyer. Scholars like Gill and Henry see this as a picture of Christ, who is the ultimate Advocate for His people, defending them against all accusations. This verse invites you to entrust your "case" to God when you feel unjustly treated.
