The Hebrew term means judgment ; but the sense is the justice of my cause. The psalmitt gives thanks to God for the defeat of his enemies, which he regards as a manifestation of divine justice. He represents God as seated on a tribunal, and passing sentence in his favor, which was followed by the utter discomfiture of his foes. The particular event referred to is not known : but those who were defeated, are spoken of as gentiles.
