Lord, you do what is fair. And your laws are right.

“ Lord, you always do what is right. But we are covered with shame today. We are the people of Judah and Jerusalem. All of us are Israelites, no matter where we live. We are now living in many countries. You scattered us among the nations because we weren’t faithful to you.

In spite of everything that has happened to us, you have been fair. You have been faithful in what you have done. But we did what was evil.

The Lord loves us very much. So we haven’t been completely destroyed. His loving concern never fails.

Proud people have hidden their traps to catch me. They have spread out their nets. They have set traps for me along my path.I say to the Lord,“ You are my God.” Lord, hear my cry for mercy.Lord and King, you save me because you are strong. You are like a shield that keeps me safe in the day of battle.Lord, don’t give sinners what they want. Don’t let their plans succeed.Those who are all around me proudly raise their heads. May the trouble they planned for me happen to them.May burning coals fall on people like that. May they be thrown into the fire. May they be thrown into muddy pits and never get out.Don’t let people who lie about me be secure in the land. May trouble hunt down those who want to hurt me.

Lord, you are the God of Israel. You are holy. You always do what is right. Today you have left many of your people alive. Here we are with all our guilt. You see the guilt of our sin. Because we have sinned, not one of us can stand in front of you.”

Jerusalem says,“ The Lord always does what is right. But I refused to obey his commands. Listen, all you nations. Pay attention to how much I’m suffering. My young men and women have been taken away as prisoners.

Give praise to the Lord. He has not let our enemies chew us up.We have escaped like a bird from a hunter’s trap. The trap has been broken, and we have escaped.
