God is the Good Judge – 2 – v2

(A psalm of Solomon)

God is the good judge, I know justice.
He makes me seek comfort in his statutes,
he leads me into his inner chambers,
he refreshes my faith in wisdom.

He guides me in the ways of the law
for the sake of our holy covenant.

Even when I walk through the darkest hour
I will fear no man, no injustice,
for my good judge is with me;
your gavel and your judgments,
they give me protection, assurance.

You prepare a strong case before me
in the presence of my opponents.
You brief me for the witness stand;
I am well prepared for the challenge.

Surely your law, your wisdom will follow me
beyond the immediacy of this matter,
and I will live within in the courts
of the Good Judge always.
