² Hear, O peoples, all of ^[a]you;
^(A)Give heed, O earth, as well as its fullness,
And let Lord Yahweh be a ^(B)witness against you,
The Lord from His holy temple.

“^(A)Hear now, heads of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel.
Is it not for you to ^(B)know justice?

⁹ Now hear this, ^(A)heads of the house of Jacob
And rulers of the house of Israel,
Who ^(B)abhor justice
And twist everything that is straight,

⁷ But as for me, I will ^(A)watch expectantly for Yahweh;
I will ^(B)wait for the God of my salvation.
My ^(C)God will hear me.
