What is the meaning of "Ki Elecha Gilisi Es Rivi"?

1.

Radak: I have no brother or relative to reveal my quarrel to them, for they wanted to kill me! I revealed it to You; You will take my judgment from them. Dibrah Torah k'Leshon Bnei Adam; 'revealing' does not apply to Hashem, who knows everything! Yonason translates Gilisi as 'I said.'

2.

Malbim: My quarrel was for you. They wanted to kill me in my quarrel because I prophesized in Your name. If so, via this You will take Your vengeance from this.
