coute-le des cieux, agis, et juge tes serviteurs; condamne le coupable, et fais retomber sa conduite sur sa tête; rends justice à l'innocent, et traite-le selon son innocence!

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Toi, écoute des cieux, agis, et juge tes serviteurs, en condamnant le méchant et faisant retomber sa conduite sur sa tête; en justifiant le juste et lui rendant selon sa justice.
Darby's French Translation
alors, toi, écoute dans les cieux, et agis, et juge tes serviteurs, en condamnant le méchant, pour faire retomber sa voie sur sa tête, et en justifiant le juste, en lui donnant selon sa justice.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Exauce[-les] toi des cieux, et exécute [ce que portera l'exécration du serment], et juge tes serviteurs en condamnant le méchant, [et] lui rendant selon ce qu'il aura fait ; et en justifiant le juste, et lui rendant selon sa justice.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then hear thou in heaven,.... When the injured person makes supplication to have justice done him:

and do, and judge thy servants; contending with one another, the one affirming, the other denying

condemning the wicked, by bringing his way upon his head: inflicting upon him the punishment imprecated by him in his oath:

and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness; by making it appear that his cause is just.
