I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
This verse belongs to the psalm that exalts God's law, and it stands within the psalmist's testimony to loving and keeping that law. The speaker declares that he has done judgment and justice, and pleads not to be left to his oppressors. The law is to be the rule of life, with God's Word laying out the principles of righteousness and making a clear distinction between right and wrong and between truth and error.
The verse shows that the wickedness of the world has reached the point where the Lord will certainly intervene and arise to punish bold and defiant wickedness against His holy law. It means that God's forbearance has been very great, so great that the continual insult to His holy commandments causes marvel, with His long-suffering laying constraint upon His own attributes as omnipotence exerted over Himself. He has borne long with the continual increase of defiance against the laws given to govern the human beings He created, while giving continual light to those who remain obedient. He sees that life is becoming intolerable because of cruelty, because men have changed His laws.
