Verse 23. ["Stir up thyself."] Be upon thy mettle. Prove that thou art no indifferent witness to all this infamy. ["Awake to my judgement."] Take the sceptre and summon the great assize; vindicate justice, avenge oppression. Do not tarry as men do who sleep. ["Even unto my cause, my God and my Lord."] He claims a nearness to his God, he holds him with both hands; he leaves his case with the righteous Judge. He begs that the suit may be brought on, heard, tried, and verdict given. Well is it for a man when his conscience is so clear that he dares to make such an appeal.
