Translation
Until when will you judge unjustly, and carry the wicked? (Selah)
Go to footnote numberParaphrase
[He addressed them with these accusations] How long will you continue to rule and judge in ways that promote injustice rather than justice? How long will you accept and even promote the cause of the wicked? (The director of music says or motions – “Lift up the answer, make it louder.”)
