כִּֽי־עָ֭שִׂיתָ מִשְׁפָּטִ֣י וְדִינִ֑י	5a	because you have accomplished my right and my claim;
יָשַׁ֥בְתָּ לְ֝כִסֵּ֗א שׁוֹפֵ֥ט צֶֽדֶק׃	5b	you have sat on a throne as a righteous judge.
גָּעַ֣רְתָּ ג֭וֹיִם אִבַּ֣דְתָּ רָשָׁ֑ע	6a	You rebuked nations; you destroyed the wicked;

לְמַ֥עַן אֲסַפְּרָ֗ה כָּֽל־תְּהִלָּ֫תֶ֥יךָ	15a	so that I may tell about all your praiseworthy actions
בְּשַֽׁעֲרֵ֥י בַת־צִיּ֑וֹן	15b	at the gates of daughter Zion,
אָ֝גִ֗ילָה בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃	15c	[and so that] I may be glad because of your salvation!
