I have done justice and righteousness: Leave me not to mine oppressors.
KJV
I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Some rulers gave neither judgment nor justice, others gave judgment without justice, but David gave judgment and justice, and saw that his sentences were carried out.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.

For He stands at the right hand of the needy one, to save him from the condemners of his soul.
if all this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the message would be fully proclaimed, and all the Gentiles would hear it. So I was delivered from the mouth of…
