Psalm 17:2

Let the verdict of my innocence come directly from you. Let your eyes observe what is right.

He will cause your righteousness to shine like a light, your just cause like the noonday sun.

Jehovah will not leave him in his hand or let him be condemned when he is judged.

But you say: Jehovah's way is unfair. Listen, nation of Israel, is my way fair? Is it your ways that are unfair?

But the nation of Israel says: Jehovah's way is unfair. Is my way not fair, nation of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unfair?

But your people say: 'Jehovah's way is not right.' Yet, their ways are not right.

The people of Israel say: 'Jehovah's way is not right.' I will judge each of you by your own ways, people of Israel.

It is a righteous thing for God to repay with affliction (great suffering and distress) those who afflict you.

Now to him that is able to guard you from stumbling, and to set you before the presence of his glory without blemish with exceeding joy.
