Psalm 94:15–17

15 Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,

and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked?

Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?

17 Unless the Lord had given me help,

I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.

15 But judgment shall return unto righteousness:

And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?

Or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless the Lord had been my help,

My soul had almost dwelt in silence.

15 Judgment will again be founded on justice,

and those with virtuous hearts will pursue it.

16 Who will protect me from the wicked?

Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

17 Unless the Lord had helped me,

I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave.

15 But judgment will return to righteousness,

And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?

Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless the Lord had been my help,

My soul would soon have settled in silence.

15 Judgment will again be fair,

and all who are honest will follow it.

16 Who will help me fight against the wicked?

Who will stand with me against those who do evil?

17 If the Lord had not helped me,

I would have died in a minute.

15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness;

And all the upright in heart shall follow it.

16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?

Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 Unless Jehovah had been my help,

My soul had soon dwelt in silence.

15 For judgment shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? 17 If Jehovah had not been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

15 The decisions of judges will again become fair, 

and everyone whose motives are decent will pursue justice. 

16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers? 

Who will stand by my side against troublemakers? 

17 If the Lord had not come to help me, 

my soul would have quickly fallen silent ⸤in death⸥. 

15 for justice will again be righteous,

and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who stands up for me against the wicked?

Who takes a stand for me against evildoers?

17 If the Lord had not been my helper,

I would soon rest in the silence of death.

15 for justice will return to the righteous,

and all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who rises up for me against the wicked?

Who stands up for me against evildoers?

17 If the Lord had not been my help,

my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence.

15 For judgment will return to righteousness,

and all the upright in heart will follow after it.

16 Who rose up for me against the wicked?

Who stood up for me against the workers of iniquity?

17 If Yahweh had not been my help,

my soul would soon have dwelt in silence.

15 He will again judge people in keeping with what is right.

All those who have honest hearts will follow the right way.

16 Who will rise up for me against sinful people?

Who will stand up for me against those who do evil?

17 Suppose the Lord had not helped me.

Then I would soon have been lying quietly in the grave.

15 For judgment will again be righteous,

And all the upright in heart will follow it.

16 Who will stand up for me against evildoers?

Who will take his stand for me against those who do wickedness?

17 If the Lord had not been my help,

My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
