1 Samuel 24:15 Meaning and Commentary

The Lord therefore be Judge, and judge between me and thee,

look with pity upon him, take his cause in his hand, plead it, and do him justice: and deliver me out of thine hand:
which was a prayer of faith, believing he would do it in due time, see ( Psalms 7:6 Psalms 7:8-11 ) .
