For destruction of his enemies Do not bring Your servant into judgment This phrase begins with a plea for mercy and understanding from God. The Hebrew word for "judgment" here is "mishpat," which often refers to a legal decision or verdict. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a king or judge would render decisions that could determine life or death. The psalmist, likely David, acknowledges his position as a "servant" of God, emphasizing humility and submission. This reflects a deep awareness of human fallibility and the need for divine grace. The plea is not for justice, which would expose his sins, but for mercy, recognizing that standing before God's perfect judgment would be overwhelming. for no one alive is righteous before You Parallel Commentaries ...
