How long must your servant endure this? When will you judge those who pursue me?

O Lord, please accept the freewill offerings of my praise! Teach me your regulations!

Your instructions are totally reliable; all your just regulations endure.

Indeed, the leaders sit there on thrones and make legal decisions, on the thrones of the house of David.

For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.

Stand up angrily, Lord! Rise up with raging fury against my enemies! Wake up for my sake and execute the judgment you have decreed for them!

For you defended my just cause; from your throne you pronounced a just decision.

The Lord revealed himself; he accomplished justice; the wicked were ensnared by their own actions. (Higgaion. Selah)

He is secure at all times. He has no regard for your commands; he disdains all his enemies.

For I am aware of all his regulations, and I do not reject his rules.

The commands to fear the Lord are right and endure forever. The judgments given by the Lord are trustworthy and absolutely just.

Your justice is like the highest mountains, your fairness like the deepest sea; you preserve mankind and the animal kingdom.

Mount Zion rejoices; the towns of Judah are happy, because of your acts of judgment.

when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)

Equity and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loyal love and faithfulness characterize your rule.

For justice will prevail, and all the morally upright will be vindicated.

Zion hears and rejoices, the towns of Judah are happy, because of your judgments, O Lord.

Do not completely deprive me of a truthful testimony, for I await your justice.

I know that the Lord defends the cause of the oppressed and vindicates the poor.

Do not sit in judgment on your servant, for no one alive is innocent before you.
