And his righteousness, dit sustained him.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Truth is lacking,

and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

The Lord saw it, and it displeased him

that there was no justice.

He saw that there was no man,

and wondered that there was no one to intercede;

then his own arm brought him salvation,

and his righteousness upheld him.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Truth is nowhere to be found,

and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey.

The Lord looked and was displeased

that there was no justice.

He saw that there was no one,

he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;

so his own arm achieved salvation for him,

and his own righteousness sustained him.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Truth is missing,

and whoever turns from evil is plundered.

The Lord saw that there was no justice,

and he was offended.

He saw that there was no man—

he was amazed that there was no one interceding;

so his own arm brought salvation,

and his own righteousness supported him.

NLTNew Living Translation

Yes, truth is gone,

and anyone who renounces evil is attacked.

The Lord looked and was displeased

to find there was no justice.

He was amazed to see that no one intervened

to help the oppressed.

So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm,

and his justice sustained him.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

and truth is missing,

and he who turns aside from evil is plundered.

And Yahweh saw,

and it was displeasing in his eyes that there was no justice

And he saw that there was no man,

and he was appalled that there was no one who intercedes,

so his arm came to assist him,

and his righteousness was what sustained him.
