Contextual Overview
9 Then said David to Saul, Wherefore shouldst thou hearken unto the words of the sons of earth, saying, - Lo! David is seeking thy hurt? 10 Lo! this day, have thine own eyes seen, how Yahweh had delivered thee up, to-day, into my hand in the cave, and, when one bade me slay thee, I looked with compassion upon thee, - and I said - I will not thrust forth my hand against my lord, for, the Anointed of Yahweh, is he! 11 But, my father, see, yea, see, the corner of thy robe in my hand, - for, in that I cut off the corner of thy robe, and yet did not slay thee, know thou, and see, that there is not in my hand either wrong or transgression, neither have I sinned against thee, yet art thou hunting my life, to take it. 12 Let Yahweh do justice betwixt me and thee, and let Yahweh avenge me of thee, - but, mine own hand, shall not be upon thee. 13 As saith the proverb of the ancients, From the lawless, proceedeth lawlessness, - mine own hand, therefore shall not be upon thee. 14 After whom, hath the king of Israel come forth? After whom, art thou in pursuit? After a dead dog! after a single flea! 15 Therefore shall, Yahweh, become, judge, and do justice betwixt me and thee, - that he may see, and plead my cause, and justly deliver me out of thy 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.
