Psalms 129:4

¹³⁷You are righteous, LORD. Your judgments are upright.

²²It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail.

⁷“Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us confusion of face, as it is today; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are far off, through all the countries where you have driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against you.

³³However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly.

⁶Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth. ⁷Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

⁵The proud have hidden a snare for me, they have spread the cords of a net by the path. They have set traps for me. Selah. ⁶I said to the LORD, “You are my God.” Listen to the cry of my petitions, LORD. ⁷LORD, the Lord, the strength of my salvation, you have covered my head in the day of battle. ⁸LORD, don’t grant the desires of the wicked. Don’t let their evil plans succeed, or they will become proud. Selah. ⁹As for the head of those who surround me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them. ¹⁰Let burning coals fall on them. Let them be thrown into the fire, into miry pits, from where they never rise. ¹¹An evil speaker won’t be established in the earth. Evil will hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

¹⁵LORD, the God of Israel, you are righteous; for we are left a remnant that has escaped, as it is today. Behold, ^[+] we are before you in our guiltiness; for no one can stand before you because of this.”

¹⁸“The LORD is righteous, for I have rebelled against his commandment. Please hear all you peoples, and see my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.
