From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord shall judge the people -Expressing his confident belief that God would interpose, and that his judgment would not much longer be delayed. The proposition is a general one - that God would see that justice would be done to all people; and on this ground the psalmist pleads that He would now interpose and defend him from his enemies. Judge me, O Lord -That is, in my present circumstances. Interpose to do justice to my cause, and to vindicate me from these false accusations. According to my righteousness -In this particular case, for to that the proper laws of interpretation require us to confine this.
