“Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.”
Psalms 119:154 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 119:154
Plead my cause, and deliver me (רִיבָה רִיבִי וּגְאָלֵנִי, rivah rivi uge'aleni)—Riv means 'contend at law, advocate, defend in court.' The psalmist summons God as covenant attorney. Ga'al ('deliver/redeem') is the kinsman-redeemer term—Boaz to Ruth, God to Israel. Quicken me according to thy word (chayeni, 'make me alive') connects life itself to divine promise.This forensic language anticipates Romans 8:33-34: 'Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.' Christ our go'el both pleads our cause and pays our redemption price.
