I knowthat the LORDwill maintainthe causeof the afflictedAnd justicefor the poor.
The Lordis at Your righthand;He will shatterkingsin the dayof His wrath.
Nevertheless I am continuallywith You; You have takenholdof my righthand.
"Noweaponthat is formedagainstyou will prosper;And everytonguethat accusesyou in judgmentyou will condemn.Thisis the heritageof the servantsof the LORD,And their vindicationis from Me," declaresthe LORD.
