Contextual Overview
9And David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men, saying, ‘Behold, David seeks to do you evil'? 10Behold, this day your eyes have seen that Yahweh had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, ‘I will not send forth my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Yahweh.' 11Now, my father, see! Indeed, see the edge of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the edge of your robe and did not kill you, know and see that there is no evil or transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you, though you are lying in wait for my life to take it. 12May Yahweh judge between you and me, and may Yahweh avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you. 13As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you. 14After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog, after a single flea? 15Therefore Yahweh be judge and execute justice between you and me; and may He see and plead my cause and execute justice for me to escape from your hand."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The Lord therefore be Judge, and judge between me and thee,.... Signifying he did not desire to be judge in his own cause, but leave it with God to determine it for him in his providence:
and see, and plead my cause; look with pity upon him, take his cause in his hand, plead it, and do him justice:
and deliver me out of thine hand: which was a prayer of faith, believing he would do it in due time, see Psalms 7:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 24:15. The Lord therefore be judge — Let God determine who is guilty.
