Psalm 35:24 NASB,NASB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 35:24

Judge me, O Lord my God - Pronounce judgment, or judge between me and my enemies. Compare the notes at Psalms 26:1.According to thy righteousness - That is, “rightly.” Let there be a righteous judgment. The character of God, or the righteousness of God, is the highest standard of equity and justice, and the psalmist asks that he would manifest his real character as judge in interposing in behalf of an injured and oppressed man, and doing justice to him. When we are right in our own cause we may... read more

Psalms 35:22-24. Thou hast seen, O Lord As they say they have seen, so my comfort is, that thou also hast seen, and dost observe all their plots and threats, and all my distresses and calamities, which I suffer for thy sake. Keep not silence Or, Be not deaf, namely, to my prayers. Be not far from me Do not withdraw thy favour and help from me. Awake unto my cause At last undertake to plead my cause against my adversaries. According to thy righteousness Whereby thou usest to defend... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 35:0 Against false accusersIt seems that this psalm also was written during the time of David’s flight from Saul. Much of his suffering during that time was because of the false accusations made against him by influential people in Saul’s court. (See introductory notes to Psalms 7:0.)Since David’s enemies have the ferocity of men in battle, David asks God to deal with them accordingly and fight against them as a warrior (1-3). He prays that they might be turned back, scattered and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 35David lamented the unjustified opposition of his enemies in this psalm and called on God to deliver him. It is really a combination of three laments. The language alternates between legal and military terminology."Whether or not this psalm was written as a companion to Psalms 34, it is well placed next to it, not only because of some verbal affinities and contrasts (notably ’the angel of the Lord’, Psalms 34:7; Psalms 35:5-6, found nowhere else in the Psalter), but because it speaks... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 35:22-26

Their claims of having seen David do something bad were groundless, but God had seen their evil actions. David called God to end His silence and act for him. By vindicating David, God would frustrate the attempts of the wicked to triumph over the upright. read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 35:1-28

This is a prayer for the defeat and destruction of malignant enemies, whom the Psalmist has formerly befriended, and who now treat him with ungrateful cruelty. The circumstances are partly similar to those of David’s persecution by Saul, but no prominent individual is mentioned as hostile, and David’s attitude to Saul was more forgiving than that of the Psalmist towards those of whom he complains. The Ps., like Psalms 31, has many resemblances to the book of Jeremiah, and some ascribe it to... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 35:1-28

Psalms 35:1-28THE psalmist’s life is in danger. He is the victim of ungrateful hatred. False accusations of crimes that he never dreamed of are brought against him. He professes innocence, and appeals to Jehovah to be his Advocate and also his Judge. The prayer in Psalms 35:1 a uses the same word and metaphor as David does in his remonstrance with Saul. {1 Samuel 24:15} The correspondence with David’s situation in the Sauline persecution is, at least, remarkable, and goes far to sustain the... read more

Psalms 35:0 The Cry for Justice and Divine Help 1. The cry of distress (Psalms 35:1-10 ) 2. The contrast? (Psalms 35:11-18 ) 3. Prayer for vindication and victory (Psalms 35:19-28 ) This Psalm introduces us again to the suffering of the righteous, giving another prophetic picture of the distress of the remnant. When David composed this Psalm we do not know. But He casts himself completely on the Lord and calls to Him for help and vindication. Thus the godly have always done when... read more
