Commentary

Stir up thyself and awake,.... Who seemed to be asleep in the apprehensions of the psal mist, and to take no notice of his distresses, and the insults of his enemies; see Psa 44:23 ; he adds, to my judgment, even to my cause; that is, to plead it and maintain it, and avenge him of his enemies, as in Psa 35:1 ; making use of his covenant interest in him as a plea for it to engage him to do it, saying, my God, and my Lord; see Psa 22:1 .
