If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;

Then the king said to the wise men, which knew the times,(for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment:

Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.

For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right.

Thou didst cause judgment to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes.

Cast out the scorner, and contention shall go out; yea, strife and reproach shall cease.

The righteous considereth the cause of the poor: but the wicked regardeth not to know it.

Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.

Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction.

To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!

They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him: was not this to know me? saith the LORD.

There is none to plead thy cause, that thou mayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines.
