Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against th' ungodly nation; From the unjust and crafty man, O be thou my salvation.
Plead, Lord, with those that plead; and fight with those that fight with me.
Judge me, O Lord, for I have walk'd in mine integrity: I trusted also in the Lord; slide therefore shall not I.
The Lord he shall the people judge: my judge, JEHOVAH, be, After my righteousness, and mine integrity in me.
O Lord my God, do thou me judge after thy righteousness; And let them not their joy 'gainst me triumphantly express:
Free me, my God, from wicked hands, hands cruel and unjust:
Cutt'st off that liars be: The bloody and deceitful man abhorred is by thee.
But God is judge; he puts down one, and sets another up.
So shall th' assembly of thy folk about encompass thee: Thou, therefore, for their sakes, return unto thy place on high.
O let the wicked's malice end; but stablish stedfastly The righteous: for the righteous God the hearts and reins doth try.
For they that strangers are to me do up against me rise; Oppressors seek my soul, and God set not before their eyes.
The proud for me a snare have hid, and cords; yea, they a net Have by the way-side for me spread; they gins for me have set.
