Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
The verse is a humble prayer of faith from sincere lips without deceit, committing one's case to the Lord and asking God Himself to hear what is right, attend to the cry, and let the sentence come forth from His presence to decide it. It asks for His eyes to behold what is fair and equal. It trusts that He cares and will judge in truth and righteousness and give strength from above.
The prayer asks God to prove the heart, to visit in the night, and to try and find nothing, while purposing that the mouth shall not transgress, and asks Him to hold up the goings in His paths so the footsteps do not slip. It calls upon Him in confidence that He will hear and incline His ear to the speech. It is the prayer of one who trusts in the Lord as a little child trusts its earthly parent, clings to the Saviour, and lets nothing separate the soul from God. It looks for mercies and expects mercies and blessings, sees and acknowledges them without complaining, fretting, or casting blame upon God, and believes with all the heart though a sinner because God is truth and His Word is to be believed.
