Contextual Overview

¹⁷LORD, how long will You look on [without action]? Rescue my life from their destructions, My only life from the young lions. ¹⁸I will give You thanks in the great congregation; I will praise You among a mighty people. ¹⁹Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me; Nor let those who hate me without cause wink their eye [maliciously]. ²⁰For they do not speak peace, But they devise deceitful words [half-truths and lies] against those who are quiet in the land. ²¹They open their mouths wide against me; They say, "Aha, aha, our eyes have seen it!" ²²You have seen this, O LORD; do not keep silent. O Lord, do not be far from me. ²³Wake Yourself up, and arise to my right And to my cause, my God and my Lord. ²⁴Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Your righteousness and justice; And do not let them rejoice over me.²⁵Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha, that is what we wanted!" Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up and destroyed him." ²⁶Let those be ashamed and humiliated together who rejoice at my distress; Let those be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves over me.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Judge me, O Lord my God, according to thy righteousness,.... Either that righteousness of his, by which he justifies his people, which Christ has wrought out, God has accepted of, and imputes; and which, though revealed in the Gospel, was witnessed to by the law and prophets, and was known to the saints under the Old Testament, and particularly to David; see Romans 4:6; or the perfection of his justice, his essential righteousness displayed in all his works and actions, and in the government of the world; according to this the psalmist desired to be judged; not with respect to his person before God, but with respect to his cause before men, by delivering him from his enemies, and taking vengeance on them: thus Christ also was judged according to the strict justice or righteousness of God; for as sin was righteously condemned in his flesh, being imputed to him, and found upon him; so he was, according to the justice of God, acquitted, discharged, and justified in the Spirit, when he arose from the dead; and afterwards righteous judgment was executed on his enemies the Jews, when wrath came upon them to the uttermost: and his people are also dealt with according to the righteousness of God; who acts as a righteous God, as just and faithful in forgiving their sins, on account of the blood of Christ being shed for it; and in justifying their persons by his righteousness, and by giving them the crown of righteousness laid up for them; and at last by rendering tribulation to them that have troubled them;

and let them not rejoice over me; meaning his enemies, as in

Psalms 35:15; that is, let them not go on to rejoice; let them have no occasion for it, but deliver me out of their hands.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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 ask a just God to interpose and determine between us and our enemies according to his own nature. As between ourselves and our fellow-men we may bring our cause with this plea before a righteous God; as between ourselves and God, we can make no appeal to his “justice,” but our only hope is in his “mercy.”

And let them not rejoice over me - Let them not carry out their purposes; let them not be successful, so that they can appeal to the result as if they were right, and thus obtain a triumph over me. Compare Psalms 35:19.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 35:24. Judge me, O Lord my God — The manner of his appeal shows the strong confidence he had in his own innocence.
