1. You are always righteous, Lord,when I bring a case before you.Yet I would speak with you about your justice:why does the way of the wicked prosper?Why do all the faithless live at ease?
2. You have planted them, and they have taken root;they grow and bear fruit.You are always on their lipsbut far from their hearts.
3. Yet you know me, Lord;you see me and test my thoughts about you.Drag them off like sheep to be butchered!Set them apart for the day of slaughter!
