if I have done harm to one at peace with me
or have plundered my adversary without cause,

For You have upheld my just cause;
You are seated on Your throne as a righteous judge.

A Davidic prayer.Lord, hear a just cause;
pay attention to my cry;
listen to my prayer—
from lips free of deceit.

No one who waits for You
will be disgraced;
those who act treacherously without cause
will be disgraced.

They hid their net for me without cause;
they dug a pit for me without cause.

Do not let my deceitful enemies rejoice over me;
do not let those who hate me without cause
look at me maliciously.

Wake up and rise to my defense,
to my cause, my God and my Lord!

Vindicate me, God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly nation;
rescue me from the deceitful and unjust man.

in your splendor ride triumphantly
in the cause of truth, humility, and justice.
May your right hand show your awe-inspiring acts.

I will cause your name to be remembered for all generations;
therefore the peoples will praise you forever and ever.

In Your good pleasure, cause Zion to prosper;
build the walls of Jerusalem.

Those who hate me without cause
are more numerous than the hairs of my head;
my deceitful enemies, who would destroy me,
are powerful.
Though I did not steal, I must repay.

Rise up, God, defend Your cause!
Remember the insults
that fools bring against You all day long.

They surround me with hateful words
and attack me without cause.

Defend my cause and redeem me;
give me life as You promised.

שׂ Sin/ שׁ ShinPrinces have persecuted me without cause,
but my heart fears only Your word.

When those who surround me rise up,
may the trouble their lips cause overwhelm them.

I know that the Lord upholds
the just cause of the poor,
justice for the needy.
