THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL REJOICE

The power of the wicked causes worry;

Iniquity that is unbridled causes anxiety.

Judges are appointed to uphold justice;

They are supposed to defend peace.

 

But some judges are afraid of the wicked;

They choose to keep silent instead.

This makes wickedness abound;

And great evil can truly surround.

 

Prayers must ascend to God Most Holy;

The righteous must cry out to the Almighty.

The LORD is both Judge and King;

Ultimate power lies within Him.

 

The righteous will rejoice in the LORD;

They exult when evil is judged by God.

May the LORD hear the cries of the needy!

May they be lifted up from a life of misery!
