Luke 18:5

This widow troubleth me. Persistence in pressing her petition was the only weapon the widow had at her disposal. Her great need did not stir the judge’s sense of justice or mercy (see on v. 3), but her persistence was effective in arousing his impatience.

Instantly and with little effort on his part he could have ordered justice, but he did not do so until it became easier to dispense justice than to avoid doing so.

I will avenge her. See on v. 3. Not from a sense of justice or from sympathy for her helplessness, but to protect himself from further inconvenience. He had no regard for the law, and was wholly indifferent to suffering and oppression.

Weary me. Literally, “smite me below the eye,” or “smite so as to cause bruises”; hence, figuratively, “beat me out,” or “wear me out,” that is, “give me intolerable annoyance.” It is in this figurative sense of “greatly annoy” that the judge uses this expression here.
