I would make supplication to my Judge.
1The Septuagint render it thus, I would deprecate his judgement; that is, I would sue for mercy. As if he had said, I am not without hope, because I have none in my self: I am not lost, because I am lost to my self: I have a sure way yet left, I will make supplication to my Judge; or as M. Broughton reads it, I would crave pity of my Judge: as if he had said, Though justice cast me, yet mercy will relieve me. Mercy will help me as well, and honour God more.
