⁸ You found ^(A)his heart faithful before You,
And cut a covenant with him
To give him the land of the Canaanite,
Of the Hittite and the Amorite,
Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite, and the Girgashite—
To give it to his seed.
And You ^(B)have established Your promise,
For You are righteous.

^137 (A)Righteous are You, O Yahweh,
And upright are Your judgments.

¹⁷ Yahweh is ^(A)righteous in all His ways
And holy in all His works.

12 ^(A)Righteous are You, O Yahweh, when I would plead my case with You;
Indeed I would ^(B)speak matters of justice with You:
Why has the ^(C)way of the wicked succeeded?
Why are all those who ^(D)deal in treachery complacent?
