15 May the Lord be our judge and decide between us. May he consider my cause and uphold it; may he vindicate me by delivering me from your hand."
15 May the Lord therefore be judge and give sentence between me and you, and see to it and plead my cause and deliver me from your hand."
15 God is our judge. He'll decide who is right. Oh, that he would look down right now, decide right now - and set me free of you!"
15 Therefore let the Lord be judge, and judge between you and me, and see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand."
15 May the Lord therefore judge which of us is right and punish the guilty one. He is my advocate, and he will rescue me from your power!"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:15
Commentary on 1 Samuel 24:8-15
(Read 1 Samuel 24:8-15)
David was falsely charged with seeking Saul's hurt; he shows Saul that God's providence had given him opportunity to do it. And it was upon a good principle that he refused to do it. He declares his fixed resolution never to be his own avenger. If men wrong us, God will right us, at farthest, in the judgment of the great day.
