Psalm 17:2

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

From you let my vindication come; let your eyes see the right.

See the chapter Copy

He will make your vindication shine like the light and the justice of your cause like the noonday.

Yet the house of Israel says, “The way of the Lord is unfair.” O house of Israel, are my ways unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?

Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is unfair.” Hear now, O house of Israel: Is my way unfair? Is it not your ways that are unfair?

Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand without blemish in the presence of his glory with rejoicing,

Yet you say, “The way of the Lord is not just.” O house of Israel, I will judge all of you according to your ways!

Yet your people say, “The way of the Lord is not just,” when it is their own way that is not just.

The Lord will not abandon them to their power or let them be condemned when they are brought to trial.
