For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.

They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

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

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.

Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me.
