[fn]Save ^H6403 me from the deceitful ^H4820 and unjust ^H5766 person ^H376!

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

Remember ^H2142 [fn]how the foolish ^H5036 person ^H5036 taunts ^H2781 You all ^H3605 day ^H3117 long.

He will not always ^H5331 contend ^H7378 with us,

Nor ^H3808 will He keep ^H5201 His anger forever ^H5769.

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

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

Do not contend ^H7378 with a person ^H120 for ^H2600 no ^H2600 reason ^H2600,

If ^H518 he has done ^H1580 you no ^H3808 harm ^H7451.

For the LORD ^H3068 will plead ^H7378 their case ^H7379

And [fn]take ^H6906 the life ^H5315 of those who rob ^H6906 them.

For their Redeemer ^H1350 is strong ^H2389;

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

Do not go ^H3318 out ^H3318 hastily ^H4118 to [fn]argue ^H7378 your case;

[fn]Otherwise ^H6435, what ^H4100 will you do ^H6213 in [fn]the end ^H319,

When your neighbor ^H7453 humiliates ^H3637 you?

Learn ^H3925 to do ^H3190 good ^H3190;

Seek ^H1875 justice ^H4941,

Rebuke ^H833 the oppressor ^H2541,

Obtain ^H8199 justice ^H8199 for the orphan ^H3490,

Plead ^H7378 for the widow’s ^H490 case ^H490.

The LORD ^H3068 arises ^H5324 to contend ^H7378,

And stands ^H5975 to judge ^H1777 the people ^H5971.

You contended ^H7378 with them [fn]by banishing ^H5432 them, by driving ^H7971 them away ^H7971.

With His fierce ^H7186 wind ^H7307 He has expelled ^H1898 them on the day ^H3117 of the east ^H6921 wind ^H6921.

“Woe ^H1945 to the one who quarrels ^H7378 with [fn]his Maker ^H3335—

A piece ^H2789 of ^H2789 pottery ^H2789 [fn]among ^H854 the other earthenware ^H127 pottery ^H2789 pieces ^H2789!

Will the clay ^H2563 say ^H559 to the [fn]potter ^H3335, ‘What ^H4100 are you doing ^H6213?’

Or the thing ^H6467 you are making ^H6467 say, ‘He has ^H369 no ^H369 hands ^H3027’?

Indeed ^H3588, this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559:

“Even ^H1571 the captives ^H7628 of the mighty ^H1368 man ^H1368 will be taken ^H3947 away,

And the prey ^H4455 of a tyrant ^H6184 will be rescued ^H4422;

For I will contend ^H7378 with the one ^H3401 who ^H3401 contends ^H3401 with you,

And I will save ^H3467 your sons ^H1121.

He who vindicates ^H6663 Me is near ^H7138;

Who ^H4310 will contend ^H7378 with Me?

Let us stand ^H5975 up to each ^H3162 other ^H3162.

Who ^H4310 has ^H1167 a case ^H4941 against Me?

Let him approach ^H5066 Me.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 your Lord ^H136, the LORD ^H3068, your God ^H430

Who contends ^H7378 for His people ^H5971 says ^H559:

“Behold ^H2009, I have taken ^H3947 from your hand ^H3027 the cup ^H3563 of staggering ^H8653,

The [fn]chalice ^H6907 H3563 of My anger ^H2534;

You will never ^H3808 drink ^H8354 it again ^H3254.

“For I will not contend ^H7378 forever ^H5769,

Nor ^H3808 will I always ^H5331 be ^H7107 angry ^H7107;

For the spirit ^H7307 would grow ^H5848 faint ^H5848 before ^H4480 H6440 Me,

And the breath ^H5397 of those whom I have made ^H6213.

“Therefore ^H3651 I will still ^H5750 contend ^H7378 with you,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068,

“And I will contend ^H7378 with your sons’ ^H1121 sons ^H1121.

“Why ^H4100 do you contend ^H7378 with Me?

You have all ^H3605 revolted ^H6586 against Me,” declares ^H5002 the LORD ^H3068.
