“If ^H3588 a case ^H1697 is ^H6381 too ^H4480 difficult ^H6381 for you to decide ^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, that are cases ^H1697 of dispute ^H7379 in your [fn]courts ^H8179, then you shall arise ^H6965 and go ^H5927 up ^H5927 to the place ^H4725 which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 your God ^H430 chooses ^H977.

“If ^H3588 there is a dispute ^H7379 between ^H996 people ^H376 and they go ^H5066 to [fn]court ^H4941, and [fn]the judges ^H8199 decide ^H8199 their case, and they declare ^H6663 the righteous ^H6662 innocent ^H6663 and pronounce ^H7561 the wicked ^H7563 guilty ^H7561,

When David ^H1732 heard ^H8085 that Nabal ^H5037 was dead ^H4191, he said ^H559, “Blessed ^H1288 be the LORD ^H3068, who ^H834 has pleaded ^H7378 the cause ^H7379 of the shame ^H2781 inflicted ^H2781 on me by the hand ^H3027 of Nabal ^H5037, and has kept ^H2820 back ^H2820 His servant ^H5650 from evil ^H7451. The LORD ^H3068 has also returned ^H7725 the evildoing ^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 saved ^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 I have not known ^H3045 serve ^H5647 me.

In Jerusalem ^H3389 Jehoshaphat ^H3092 also ^H1571 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 the LORD ^H3068, and [fn]to judge ^H7378 disputes ^H7378 among the inhabitants ^H3427 of Jerusalem ^H3389.

“Please ^H4994 hear ^H8085 my argument ^H8433,

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

“I was a father ^H1 to the poor ^H34,

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

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

Here ^H2005 is my [fn]signature ^H8420;

Let the Almighty ^H7706 answer ^H6030 me!

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

“A person is also rebuked ^H3198 by pain ^H4341 in his bed ^H4904,

And with constant ^H386 complaint ^H7379 in his bones ^H6106,

You have rescued ^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 mankind ^H376;

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

Stir ^H5782 Yourself, and awake ^H6974 to my right ^H4941

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

Vindicate ^H8199 me, God ^H430, and plead ^H7378 my case ^H7379 against ^H4480 an ungodly ^H2623 H3808 nation ^H1471;

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

Confuse ^H1104 them, Lord ^H136, divide ^H6385 their tongues ^H3956,

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

A fool’s ^H3684 lips ^H8193 [fn]bring ^H935 strife ^H7379,

And his mouth ^H6310 invites ^H7121 beatings ^H4112.

Avoiding ^H7674 strife ^H7379 is an honor ^H3519 for a person ^H376,

But any ^H3605 fool ^H191 will [fn]quarrel ^H1566.

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.

[fn]Argue ^H7378 your case ^H7379 with your neighbor ^H7453,

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

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

So is one who passes ^H5674 by ^H5674 and [fn]meddles ^H5674 with strife ^H7379 not belonging to him.

For the [fn]churning ^H4330 of milk ^H2461 produces ^H3318 butter ^H2529,

And pressing ^H4330 the nose ^H639 produces ^H3318 blood ^H1818;

So the [fn]churning ^H4330 of anger ^H639 produces ^H3318 strife ^H7379.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And chases ^H7291 after gifts ^H8021.

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

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

For the LORD ^H3068 has a day ^H3117 of vengeance ^H5359,

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

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

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

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

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

But, LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, who judges ^H8199 righteously ^H6664,

Who puts ^H974 the [fn]feelings ^H3629 and the heart ^H3820 to ^H974 the ^H974 test ^H974,

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

For to You I have [fn]committed ^H1556 my cause ^H7379.

Woe ^H188 to me, my mother ^H517, that you have given ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to 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 people lent ^H5383 money to me,

Yet everyone ^H3605 curses ^H7043 me.

Yet, LORD ^H3068 of armies ^H6635, who tests ^H974 the righteous ^H6662,

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

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

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

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

Because ^H3588 the LORD ^H3068 has a controversy ^H7379 with the nations ^H1471.

He is entering ^H8199 into ^H8199 judgment ^H8199 with [fn]humanity ^H1320;

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