If I have rewarded evil to my friend,
Or have plundered him who without cause was my adversary,

For You have maintained my just cause;
You have sat on the throne judging righteously.

To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.

A Prayer of David.
Hear a just cause, O Lord, give heed to my cry;
Give ear to my prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.

Indeed, none of those who wait for You will be ashamed;
Those who deal treacherously without cause will be ashamed.

For without cause they hid their net for me;
Without cause they dug a pit for my soul.

Do not let those who are wrongfully my enemies rejoice over me;
Nor let those who hate me without cause wink maliciously.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my right
And to my cause, my God and my Lord.

You cause us to turn back from the adversary;
And those who hate us have taken spoil for themselves.

And in Your majesty ride on victoriously,
For the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;
Let Your right hand teach You awesome things.

I will cause Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the peoples will give You thanks forever and ever.

You visit the earth and cause it to overflow;
You greatly enrich it;
The stream of God is full of water;
You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth.

For the choir director; with stringed instruments. A Psalm. A Song.
God be gracious to us and bless us,
And cause His face to shine upon us— Selah.

Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head;
Those who would destroy me are powerful, being wrongfully my enemies;
What I did not steal, I then have to restore.

Arise, O God, and plead Your own cause;
Remember how the foolish man reproaches You all day long.

O God, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

O God of hosts, restore us
And cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

O Lord God of hosts, restore us;
Cause Your face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

Restore us, O God of our salvation,
And cause Your indignation toward us to cease.

They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without cause.

It is well with the man who is gracious and lends;
He will maintain his cause in judgment.

Plead my cause and redeem me;
Revive me according to Your word.

Shin.
Princes persecute me without cause,
But my heart stands in awe of Your words.

“There I will cause the horn of David to spring forth;
I have prepared a lamp for Mine anointed.

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.
