So the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days shall be 120 years.”

But I will judge the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will depart with many possessions.

Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me; He has heard my plea and given me a son.” So she named him Dan.

Dan shall provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.

For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.

Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered. He will thunder from heaven against them. The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king. He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”

And all the people throughout the tribes of Israel were arguing, “The king rescued us from the hand of our enemies and delivered us from the hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled the land because of Absalom.

For by these He judges the nations and provides food in abundance.

The LORD judges the peoples; vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness and integrity.

He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that He may judge His people:

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. When the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding among us?” Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by Your might!

May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.

Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead; He will crush the leaders far and wide.

For the LORD will vindicate His people and will have compassion on His servants.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and defend the cause of the poor and needy.

Whatever exists was named long ago, and it is known what man is; but he cannot contend with one stronger than he.

The LORD arises to contend; He stands to judge the people.

They have grown fat and sleek, and have excelled in the deeds of the wicked. They have not taken up the cause of the fatherless, that they might prosper; nor have they defended the rights of the needy.

O house of David, this is what the LORD says: ‘Administer justice every morning, and rescue the victim of robbery from the hand of his oppressor, or My wrath will go forth like fire and burn with no one to extinguish it because of their evil deeds.

He took up the cause of the poor and needy, and so it went well with him. Is this not what it means to know Me?” declares the LORD.

There is no one to plead your cause, no remedy for your sores, no recovery for you.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, then you will govern My house and will also have charge of My courts; and I will give you a place among these who are standing here.
