1. Formal Translation Righteous are You, LORD {Yahweh, Just Arbiter}, when I plead my case to You; yet I will speak with You about judgments. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all who deal treacherously at ease? |
1. Dynamic Translation LORD {Yahweh, Fair Judge}, You always do what is right when I bring my case to You. Even so, I want to talk with You about Your decisions. Why do wicked people succeed? Why do betrayers live in peace? |
