^4 (A)He calls to the heavens above
    and to the earth, that he may judge his people:

^2 (A)Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O ^(B)earth;
    for the Lord has spoken:
“Children^{[a] (C)}have I reared and brought up,
    but they have rebelled against me.

6 ^(A)Hear what the Lord says:
Arise, plead your case before the mountains,
    and let the hills hear your voice.
^2 (B)Hear, you mountains, ^(C)the indictment of the Lord,
    and you enduring foundations of the earth,
for the Lord has an indictment against his people,
    and he will contend with Israel.

³ And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
^(A)He shall not judge by ^(B)what his eyes see,
    or decide disputes by ^(C)what his ears hear,
⁴ but ^(D)with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
    and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
and he shall ^(E)strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
    and ^(F)with the breath of his lips ^(G)he shall kill the wicked.
