How does the word order stress the psalmist’s desire?

Psalm (Psaume) 17:2 (ESV)

2 From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right!

The psalmist’s word order makes it plain that he wants his vindication to come from the Lord alone: From your presence my vindication let it come forth, and your eyes let them see what is right.1 It is as if he is saying, I ask for no other judge but the divine one, the Lord, and I stand confidently before his judgment seat, since I have a just cause and truthful lips.2
