No Judgment for Your Servant - Psalms 143:2

In Psalms one hundred and forty three David said, “Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in your faithfulness answer me, and in your righteousness”, and in chapter one hundred and forty three and verse two of Psalms David said “enter not into judgment with your servant” where we read,

And enter not into judgment with your servant: for in your sight shall no man living be justified.

The verse begins, “And enter not into judgment with your servant:” David began with the words, “and enter not” or “do not be brought in, carried or introduced” “into judgment” which means “in an ordinance, act of deciding a case, court, process, procedure or litigation” “with your servant” or “alongside and near your, Jehovah God's, man of servile condition, slave, bondman and worshiper”. David beckoned Jehovah God not to be brought into procedure or litigation with him as His bondman and worshiper.

The verse continues, “for in your sight shall no man living be justified.” David added the words, “for in your sight” or “because, since and on account that within your, Jehovah God's, face, presence, person and countenance” “shall no man living” which means “will no person whether male or female that is alive, among the breathing and active” “be justified” or “exist as just, righteous and vindicated”. David said not one person would exist as righteous and vindicated within the presence and countenance of Jehovah God.

When we think through the words in this verse, we see how David appealed to Jehovah God concerning procedure and litigation against him. David knew no one is guiltless before God, and “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (See Romans 3:23), so He sent His Son Jesus into the world to be crucified on the cross for the sins of all mankind. When we believe and trust in Him as our personal “Savior and Lord”, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and be our advocate when we stand before our Holy God. (See 1 John 2:1)

Next time David says, “the enemy has persecuted my soul;”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
