Declare me innocent, for you see those who do right.
But the Lord will not let the wicked succeed or let the godly be condemned when they are put on trial.
He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
“Yet you say, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right!’ Listen to me, O people of Israel. Am I the one not doing what’s right, or is it you?
And yet the people of Israel keep saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right!’ O people of Israel, it is you who are not doing what’s right, not I.
“Your people are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right,’ but it is they who are not doing what’s right.
O people of Israel, you are saying, ‘The Lord isn’t doing what’s right.’ But I judge each of you according to your deeds.”
Now all glory to God, who is able to keep you from falling away and will bring you with great joy into his glorious presence without a single fault.
