David prays for his own safety, and his enemies' confusion11. He complains of their wrongful dealing 22. Thereby he incites God against them Contend, O LORD The opening plea, "Contend, O LORD," is a call for divine intervention and advocacy. The Hebrew word used here is "רִיב" (riv), which means to strive or plead. This term is often used in legal contexts, suggesting a courtroom scenario where God is asked to act as a defender or advocate. The psalmist is invoking the Lord's justice and righteousness, seeking His active participation in the struggles faced. Historically, this reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding of God as a divine warrior and judge who fights on behalf of His people. The plea is deeply personal and reflects a trust in God's power to intervene in human affairs. with those who contend with me fight against those who fight against me Fight.--Literally, devour. (Comp. Numbers 24:8. "He shall eat up the nations." So a Latin author-- "Qua medius pugnae vorat agmina vortex." SILIUS: Punic, 4:230. Comp. Shakespeare-- "If the wars eat us not up.'--Coriolanus, Acts 1, sc. 1) Verse 1. - Plead my cause, O Lord, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me (comp. 1 Samuel 24:15, "The Lord therefore be Judge, and judge between me and thee; and see, and plead my cause, and deliver me out of thine hand." The word translated "plead" is a judicial term; but the context shows that it was in the battle-field, rather than in the law-courts, that David's cause was to be pleaded. The second hemistich is therefore added to explain and correct the first; it is fighting, not pleading, that is needed under the circumstances.Parallel Commentaries ...
