22. Formal Translation Because you have made the heart of the righteous sad with lies, though I {Yahweh, Compassionate Sustainer} have not caused him grief, and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked so that he does not turn from his evil way to preserve his life. |
22. Dynamic Translation Since you discouraged good people with lies—even though I {Yahweh, Just Judge} did not grieve them—you have strengthened wrongdoers so they will not turn from their evil way, and so they keep living. |
