Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?

You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?

Δικαιος εισαι Κυριε, οταν δικολογωμαι μετα σου· πλην ας διαλεχθω μετα σου περι των κρισεων σου· διατι η οδος των ασεβων ευοδουται; δια τι ευημερουσι παντες οι φερομενοι απιστως;

Righteous art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?
