Gill's Notes on the Bible
Plead my cause, and deliver me,.... This shows that his affliction was chiefly from men, wicked, ungodly, and unreasonable men; such as were Saul and his courtiers, and a whole ungodly nation: his cause was a good one, and therefore he puts it into the hand of the Lord, and who otherwise would not have undertaken it; and this he did also because he could not plead it himself, nor any other for him but the Lord; his enemies that strove with him being so many, mighty, and crafty; see Psalms 35:1. Christ is the advocate of his people, their Redeemer, who is mighty, and thoroughly pleads their cause against the accusations of Satan, the charges of law and justice, and the condemnation of their own hearts; as well as defends their innocence from the calumnies of wicked men, and rights their wrongs, and redresses their grievances;
quicken me according to thy word; Psalms 35:1- :.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Plead my cause ... - Undertake my cause, as an advocate does. See the notes at Psalms 35:1.
Quicken me ... - Give me life. See the notes at Psalms 119:25.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 154. Plead my cause — ריבה ריבי ribah ribi. "Be my Advocate in my suit." Contend for us against the Babylonians, and bring us out of our bondage.
According to thy word. — Spoken by thy prophets for our comfort and encouragement.
