God Contends, Substantiates, Acquits and Rehabilitates

"Stir up Yourself and awake to my right, and to my cause, my God and my Lord."
Psalm 35:23

We are agitated at times to take motives and run wild after those who harmed or falsely accused us. But let us appeal to the Lord to render us justice in everything in our lives. He will contend, substantiate, acquit and rehabilitate us, not according to our righteousness but His (v.24), when we can claim Him to be "My God", i.e. have a personal, intimate relationship with Him.
