Lamentations 3:58

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.

God takes up the legal case of the suffering soul as its advocate and defender, pleading on its behalf and buying back its life from destruction. When faithful people have their character torn down by slander, this divine advocacy becomes their comfort and refuge. They can rest in the certainty that God himself will answer their accusers and bring about their full and final vindication.
