David resorts to God in confidence of his integrityVindicate me, O LORD The plea for vindication is a call for divine justice and righteousness. The Hebrew word for "vindicate" is "שָׁפַט" (shaphat), which means to judge or to govern. This reflects a deep trust in God's ability to discern the truth and administer justice. The psalmist is appealing to God as the ultimate judge, recognizing His authority and righteousness. In the historical context, this plea is significant as it reflects the psalmist's desire for God to publicly affirm his innocence and integrity, a common theme in the Psalms where the righteous seek God's intervention against false accusations or adversaries. for I have walked in my integrity I have trusted in the LORD without wavering I shall not slide.--Rather, I have trusted in Jehovah without wavering.Verse 1. - Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity. It seems to Christians a bold act to call on God for judgment, but the saints of the earlier dispensation, having, perhaps, a less keen sense of human imperfection, were wont to do so. It is Job's cry from his first utterance until his "words are ended;" and here we find David taking it up and re-echoing it. Man longs to hear the sentence of acquittal from the great Judge. Like Job, David asserts his "integrity," and in the same qualified sense. He is sincere in his endeavours to do right. Yet still he needs mercy and redemption (see ver. 11). I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. (comp. Psalm 18:36; Psalm 37:31). David is confident of his past; for the future he trusts in God to uphold his steps, and save him from slips and falls. |
