There is yet a question concerning the Judge, or who the Judge is from whom he should be delivered. Our reading seems to intend it of God himself. Others by the Judge understand his friends or others who charged him so hardly. There is yet a third opinion which supposeth the Judge to be some third person,1 who should umpire the business between God and him. I rather conceive that by his Judge he means God himself, to whose righteous and merciful tribunal he appealed from the hard sentence and judgement of his friends. And who having once declared his judgement, not only the censures but even the suspicions of all men, whether friends or enemies, would be silenced for ever. And so lastly, we may take the word Judge, which is here indefinitely proposed, universally. As if he had said; when once God hath had the hearing of my cause I shall not need to fear any, what they can say, or do against me, in the capacity of a Judge. So should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.
