Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.
Ver. 1. Judge me, O God] This psalm is, as it were, an epitome or an appendix to the former, and little differing in words or matter.
Plead my cause] See Psalms 35:1 .
Against an ungodly nation] Heb. a nation not mild or merciful; so he calleth Absalom's complices, who sought and would have sucked his blood. Such are a people of God's wrath and of his curse.
O deliver me, &c.] From Absalom, or Ahithophel, or the whole faction.
