Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
The verse is a plea for God to stir Himself and awake to judgment, to arise and take up the speaker's cause and defend it as Judge. It asks Him to act on behalf of the one praying, intervening with judicial authority to decide the case. Such praying expresses God's justice, not the speaker's personal disposition or desire for revenge.
It belongs to a prophetic portrayal of Christ's inner experience, opening a view into how He felt in His inmost soul. There it reveals His heart amid life-and-death struggles with the enemy in suffering and temptation.
