The king is strong; he loves justice. You ensure that legal decisions will be made fairly; you promote justice and equity in Jacob.

Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!

May he show the humble what is right! May he teach the humble his way!

Rouse yourself, wake up and vindicate me! My God and Lord, defend my just cause!

He will vindicate you in broad daylight, and publicly defend your just cause.

Then he will judge your people fairly, and your oppressed ones equitably.

The Lord does what is fair, and executes justice for all the oppressed.

He is the Lord our God; he carries out judgment throughout the earth.

I will give you sincere thanks, when I learn your just regulations.

With my lips I proclaim all the regulations you have revealed.

I choose the path of faithfulness; I am committed to your regulations.

I remember your ancient regulations, O Lord, and console myself.

Today they stand firm by your decrees, for all things are your servants.

I do not turn aside from your regulations, for you teach me.

I have vowed and solemnly sworn to keep your just regulations.

My body trembles because I fear you; I am afraid of your judgments.

ע (Ayin) I do what is fair and right. Do not abandon me to my oppressors!

Turn toward me and extend mercy to me, as you typically do to your loyal followers.

צ (Tsade) You are just, O Lord, and your judgments are fair.

Listen to me because of your loyal love! O Lord, revive me, as you typically do!
