Hold not thy peace - Be not silent; arise and defend my cause.
Barnes's Psalms 109:1 Bible Commentary
Hold not thy peace - That is, Speak for my defense - as if God had looked with unconcern on the wrongs which were done to him. See the notes at Psalm 83:1.
O God of my praise - The God whom I praise; whom I worship and adore. It implies that he was accustomed to praise him, and desired still to praise him. He sought that God would interpose now that he might have new occasion for praise.

109:1 God - The author and matter of all my praises.
