בְּקָרְאִ֡י עֲנֵ֤נִי ׀ אֱלֹ֘הֵ֤י צִדְקִ֗י בַּ֭צָּר הִרְחַ֣בְתָּ לִּ֑י חָ֝נֵּ֗נִי וּשְׁמַ֥ע תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃
RESPÓNDEME cuando clamo, oh Dios de mi justicia: Estando en angustia, tú me hiciste ensanchar: Ten misericordia de mí, y oye mi oración.

Radak on Psalms
Answer me when I call, O God (Judge) of my righteousness: – It is certain that this Psalm likewise was uttered (by David) in his flight before Absalom; and he says, Answer me when I call, O God (Judge) of my righteousness, for Thou knowest that with me is the right, and with him who is against me the wrong and the violence; and Thou, Lord, art Judge over us. For in every instance where אלהים ('Elohim) occurs it has the meaning "judge," as we have interpreted the verse "Verily there is a God (Judge) that judges in the earth" (Ps. 58:12). And men who are judges are so called: "The cause of both parties shall come before the 'Elohim (judges)" (Exod. 22:8); 'Then his master shall bring him unto 'Elohim (the judges)" (ibid. 21:6).

Radak on Psalms
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Thou hast set me at large for "Thou shalt set me at large," as we have explained that in the prophetical writings a past tense is used in place of a future, for the thing is as if it had already happened. So the Holy Spirit was making a revelation upon his tongue, and he says Thou hast set me at large. Be gracious unto me and hear my prayer.
