“You shall not cause ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due to your needy ^H34 brother to be turned ^H5186 aside ^H5186 in his case ^H7379.

“If ^H3588 any case ^H1697 is ^H6381 too ^H4480 difficult ^H6381 for you to judge ^H4941, between ^H996 [fn]one kind of homicide ^H1818 or another ^H1818, between ^H996 [fn]one kind of lawsuit ^H1779 or another ^H1779, and between ^H996 [fn]one kind of assault ^H5061 or another ^H5061, being cases ^H1697 of dispute ^H7379 in your gates ^H8179, then you shall arise ^H6965 and go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the place ^H4725 which ^H834 Yahweh ^H3068 your God ^H430 chooses ^H977.

“If ^H3588 there is a dispute ^H7379 between ^H996 men ^H376 and they go ^H5066 to court ^H4941 for judgment, and [fn]the judges ^H8199 judge ^H8199 their case, and they justify ^H6663 the righteous ^H6662 and condemn ^H7561 the wicked ^H7563,

Then David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 that Nabal ^H5037 was dead ^H4191, so he said ^H559, “Blessed ^H1288 be Yahweh ^H3068, who ^H834 has pleaded ^H7378 the cause ^H7379 of my reproach ^H2781 from the hand ^H3027 of Nabal ^H5037 and has kept ^H2820 back ^H2820 His servant ^H5650 from evil ^H7451. Yahweh ^H3068 has also returned ^H7725 the evil ^H7451 of Nabal ^H5037 on his own head ^H7218.” Then David ^H1732 sent ^H7971 [fn]a proposal ^H1696 to Abigail ^H26, to take ^H3947 her as his wife ^H802.

“You have also delivered ^H6403 me from the contentions ^H7379 of my people ^H5971;

You have kept ^H8104 me as head ^H7218 of the nations ^H1471;

A people ^H5971 whom I have not known ^H3045 serve ^H5647 me.

In Jerusalem ^H3389 also ^H1571 Jehoshaphat ^H3092 appointed ^H5975 some ^H4480 of the Levites ^H3881 and priests ^H3548, and some ^H4480 of the heads ^H7218 of the fathers’ ^H1 households of Israel ^H3478, for the judgment ^H4941 of Yahweh ^H3068 and to judge ^H7378 [fn]disputes ^H7378. So they returned ^H7725 to Jerusalem ^H3389.

“Please ^H4994 hear ^H8085 my argument ^H8433

And give ^H7181 heed ^H7181 to the contentions ^H7379 of my lips ^H8193.

“I was a father ^H1 to the needy ^H34,

And I searched ^H2713 out ^H2713 the case ^H7379 which I did not know ^H3045.

“Oh ^H4310 H5414 that I had ^H5414 one to hear ^H8085 me!

Behold ^H2005, here ^H2005 is my [fn]signature ^H8420;

Let the Almighty ^H7706 answer ^H6030 me!

And the indictment ^H5612 which my accuser ^H7379 has written ^H3789,

“[fn]Man is also reproved ^H3198 with pain ^H4341 on his bed ^H4904,

And with unceasing ^H386 contention ^H7379 in his bones ^H6106,

You have delivered ^H6403 me from the contentions ^H7379 of the people ^H5971;

You have placed ^H7760 me as head ^H7218 of the nations ^H1471;

A people ^H5971 whom I have not known ^H3045 serve ^H5647 me.

You hide ^H5641 them in the secret ^H5643 place ^H5643 of Your presence ^H6440 from the conspiracies ^H7407 of man ^H376;

You keep ^H6845 them secretly ^H6845 in a [fn]shelter ^H5521 from the strife ^H7379 of tongues ^H3956.

Stir ^H5782 up ^H5782 Yourself, and awake ^H6974 to my justice ^H4941

And to my cause ^H7379, my God ^H430 and my Lord ^H136.

Give ^H8199 justice ^H8199 to me, O God ^H430, and plead ^H7378 my case ^H7379 against ^H4480 an unholy ^H2623 H3808 nation ^H1471;

[fn]Oh protect ^H6403 me from the deceitful ^H4820 and unrighteous ^H5766 man ^H376!

[fn]Confuse ^H1104, O Lord ^H136, divide ^H6385 their tongues ^H3956,

For I have seen ^H7200 violence ^H2555 and strife ^H7379 in the city ^H5892.

Arise ^H6965, O God ^H430, and plead ^H7378 Your own cause ^H7379;

Remember ^H2142 [fn]how the wicked ^H5036 fool ^H5036 reproaches ^H2781 You all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

Plead ^H7378 my cause ^H7379 and redeem ^H1350 me;

Revive ^H2421 me according to Your [fn]word ^H565.

A hot-tempered ^H2534 man ^H376 stirs ^H1624 up ^H1624 strife ^H4066,

But the slow ^H750 to anger ^H639 quiets ^H8252 a dispute ^H7379.

Better ^H2896 is a dry ^H2720 morsel ^H6595 and tranquility ^H7962 with it

Than ^H4480 a house ^H1004 full ^H4392 of [fn]feasting ^H2077 with strife ^H7379.

The beginning ^H7225 of strife ^H4066 is like letting ^H6362 out ^H6362 water ^H4325,

So abandon ^H5203 the dispute ^H7379 before ^H6440 it breaks ^H1566 out ^H1566.

A fool’s ^H3684 lips ^H8193 come ^H935 with strife ^H7379,

And his mouth ^H6310 calls ^H7121 for beatings ^H4112.

The first ^H7223 [fn]to plead ^H7379 his case ^H7379 seems right ^H6662,

Until [fn]another ^H7453 comes ^H935 and examines ^H2713 him.

It is a glory ^H3519 for a man ^H376 to cease ^H7674 quarreling ^H7379,

But any ^H3605 ignorant ^H191 fool ^H191 will break ^H1566 out ^H1566 in dispute.

For Yahweh ^H3068 will plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379

And rob ^H6906 the soul ^H5315 of those who rob ^H6906 them.

For their Redeemer ^H1350 is strong ^H2389;

He will plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379 against ^H854 you.

Plead ^H7378 your case ^H7379 with your neighbor ^H7453,

And do not reveal ^H1540 the secret ^H5475 of another ^H312,

Like one who seizes ^H2388 a dog ^H3611 by the ears ^H241

Is he who passes ^H5674 by ^H5674 and becomes passionate ^H5674 about strife ^H7379 not belonging to him.

Like charcoal ^H6352 to hot ^H1513 embers ^H1513 and wood ^H6086 to fire ^H784,

So is a contentious ^H4066 man ^H376 to kindle ^H2787 strife ^H7379.

For pressing ^H4330 milk ^H2461 brings ^H3318 forth ^H3318 butter ^H2529,

And pressing ^H4330 the nose ^H639 brings ^H3318 forth ^H3318 blood ^H1818;

And pressing ^H4330 anger ^H639 brings ^H3318 forth ^H3318 strife ^H7379.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And pursues ^H7291 rewards ^H8021.

They do not execute justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Nor ^H3808 does the widow’s ^H490 plea ^H7379 come ^H935 before ^H413 them.

For Yahweh ^H3068 has a day ^H3117 of vengeance ^H5359,

A year ^H8141 of recompense ^H7966 for the [fn]cause ^H7379 of Zion ^H6726.

“Behold ^H2005, all ^H3605 those who are angered ^H2734 at you will be ^H954 shamed ^H954 and dishonored ^H3637;

Those ^H376 who ^H376 contend ^H7379 with you will be as nothing ^H369 and will perish ^H6.

“Bring ^H7126 near ^H7126 your case ^H7379,” Yahweh ^H3068 says ^H559.

“Bring ^H5066 forward ^H5066 your mighty ^H6110 arguments,”

The King ^H4428 of Jacob ^H3290 says ^H559.

“Behold ^H2005, you fast ^H6684 for contention ^H7379 and quarreling ^H4683 and to strike ^H5221 with a wicked ^H7562 fist ^H106.

You do not fast ^H6684 like you do today ^H3117 to make ^H8085 your voice ^H6963 heard ^H8085 on high ^H4791.

But, O Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, who judges ^H8199 righteously ^H6664,

Who tests ^H974 the [fn]insides ^H3629 and the heart ^H3820,

Let me see ^H7200 Your vengeance ^H5360 on them,

For to You have I revealed ^H1540 my case ^H7379.

Woe ^H188 to me, my mother ^H517, that you have borne ^H3205 me

As a man ^H376 of strife ^H7379 and a man ^H376 of contention ^H4066 to all ^H3605 the land ^H776!

I have not lent ^H5383, nor ^H3808 have men lent ^H5383 money to me,

Yet everyone ^H3605 curses ^H7043 me.

Yet, O Yahweh ^H3068 of hosts ^H6635, You who test ^H974 the righteous ^H6662,

Who see ^H7200 the [fn]mind ^H3629 and the heart ^H3820;

Let me see ^H7200 Your vengeance ^H5360 on them,

For to You I have revealed ^H1540 my cause ^H7379.

‘A rumbling ^H7588 has come ^H935 to the end ^H7097 of the earth ^H776

Because ^H3588 Yahweh ^H3068 has a contention ^H7379 against the nations ^H1471.

He is entering ^H8199 into ^H8199 judgment ^H8199 with all ^H3605 flesh ^H1320;

As for the wicked ^H7563, He has given ^H5414 them to the sword ^H2719,’ declares ^H5002 Yahweh ^H3068.”
